    [MUS] are common in women in tertiary neurological healthcare center: A survey cohort study of persons investigated for suspected [MS] 2024 Novakova+

    How would I know if I have MS? Genuine question. As far as I can tell it’s picked up via testing, but I’ve never been tested. It’s never been considered as a possible cause of my symptoms, but people frequently ask if I’ve got MS because I’m just like this or that person who has it.

    Self-help books for ME/CFS: are they all bad?

    https://me-pedia.org/wiki/Classic_Pacing_for_a_Better_Life_with_ME is good. There’s a pretty rubbish one I had recommended called Coping With Chronic Fatigue by T CHALDER It has very bad reviews https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/2402954

    Sense about Science: Join our talks on science, scepticism and free speech (Garner et al)

    Can I attend online and ask Garner why he was doing regular running over 5k whilst being “self-diagnosed” with ME.

    Is there a constant anti-viral response?

    I was always the type to work hard but get some sort of “bug” if I went on holiday. Finish an intensive project then come down with a sore throat. Now, it happens after I go to the supermarket AND the post office. Maybe it’s always been the result of exhausting my system.

    Is there a constant anti-viral response?

    This is exactly what I think is part of it. I cough, look “sick” but tell people it’s just a “fake” illness and they can’t catch it, I’m not infected. Although I did pick up a virus this week and am currently very infected and feeling sorry for myself!

    Channel 4 News 19 February 2024: Features Clare Norton, mother of Merryn Crofts

    It really was so measured and sensible. What person seeing it could disagree that people who evidently have a physical disease should be disbelieved? Well, I can think of a few, and their time at the top has already passed.

    Channel 4 News 19 February 2024: Features Clare Norton, mother of Merryn Crofts

    By my memory Sean said the inquest for Maeve his daughter is in July, then Decode ME is due some results in August - we could have a fair amount of public awareness this summer.

    Channel 4 News 19 February 2024: Features Clare Norton, mother of Merryn Crofts

    I liked the ME Dr Tarek (couldn’t see his name under my subtitles) who said something about - we don’t know how to treat dementia, we don’t know how to treat 90% of neurological disorders but we don’t say they don’t exist, sorry we’re not going to help

    Rice cookers?

    I use the Lakeland mini. It cooks perfect rice for 1-2 people. I dump it in and it beeps when it’s ready, keeping it warm for hours. I leave the lid off and use it for porridge or soup warming. Non stick inner pot is simple to clean.

    UniteToFight2024 Long Covid and ME/CFS conference, 15th and 16th May 2024

    Looks a lot like an internet grift right now. I hope it isn’t, but choosing PayPal over a fundraising platform like gofundme, and announcing a conference before setting up the website raises more red flags than a Swiss flag parade.

    Do you have a UK NICE care plan?

    They did indeed say that. However, it’s only a guideline.

    Lying on a sofa

    I really hadn’t thought that I “should” of course be lying flat! Of course no physio will encourage lying on your side. Having a good think about different configurations as well as different furniture options.

    Well this is going pretty much as I expected…

    Do you have a UK NICE care plan?

    Hi I’ve been trying to fill one in (got an excel download which makes it straightforward) although I’m getting a bit disheartened because it’s supposed to be completed by a Dr, and reviewed annually. I think the GP wants the ME clinic to do it, but they’re not going to, because they’re run by...
