    Lack of fever during acute infections

    I don’t really bother taking my temperature as even when I feel feverish if I do take it it isn’t above normal

    Miranda Hart - British comedian

    That appears to be what LC Advocacy’s letter is aimed at doing.

    A new support pack for anyone with ME/CFS going to hospital (MEA)

    It just seems so antiquated to do this through massive overwhelming documents surely there are people with the skills to use an online form/questionnaire format where you work through questions and your responses are used to produce the output report tailored to you rather than 10 pages of...

    UK: Daily Mail: Half of women fear the NHS treats their health as a 'second-class issue'

    They were asking specifically about maternity and gynaecology services although you have to scroll down past all the photos and ads to see that.

    Use of antidepressants for/with ME/CFS?

    I set my own approach to tapering off Fluoxetine the GP seemed to think a few weeks 3 I think she said. Because I’d heard other people who had problems I decided to go much slower as I didn’t want to risk it. I was taking 1 20mg a day, I started with one tablet free day a week for a month then...

    UK Guardian: ME left me bed bound for nearly five years. A potted plant helped me rebuild my life

    I imagine it would be overwhelming to get loads of social media posts. Personally I am no longer on Xitter as I dislike the environment which has many similarities to being in a crowded stadium. Not conducive to considered discussion.

    UK Guardian: ME left me bed bound for nearly five years. A potted plant helped me rebuild my life

    I would say that she’s perfectly entitled to write such a book

    UK Guardian: ME left me bed bound for nearly five years. A potted plant helped me rebuild my life

    Right but that’s down to the psychiatrist putting their own spin. Nothing to do with the writer.

    UK Guardian: ME left me bed bound for nearly five years. A potted plant helped me rebuild my life

    Many times we’ve seen articles about ME/CFS where for example representatives from the charities were inaccurately quoted or only part of what they were interviewed about was included due to the writing and editing process. I agree with @rvallee take this is nothing like Garner.

    UK Guardian: ME left me bed bound for nearly five years. A potted plant helped me rebuild my life

    If they read the tweet you posted above that mentioned pacing and B12 injections and that she’s not recovered but improved, no they won’t

    UK Guardian: ME left me bed bound for nearly five years. A potted plant helped me rebuild my life

    I don’t think it’s ideal advocacy, if there’s an overall increase in coverage there will inevitably be stuff like this. If it takes a few “positive spin” articles like this in order for serious advocacy stories to continue to be covered. That’s miles better than where we were with the handful...

    UK Guardian: ME left me bed bound for nearly five years. A potted plant helped me rebuild my life

    I think we can all recognise from previous experience that the headline in particular and the gloss of the article are unlikely to be within the control of the person with ME/CFS whose story is covered.

    A new support pack for anyone with ME/CFS going to hospital (MEA)

    I couldn’t see any reference to nutrition in the CDC page. Other than that It shows something succinct can be produced though.
