    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    Thank you Trish. It does help a lot. I think what you and others have written have given me more clarity than I’ve really had over the past 4 years. Like you say, even surviving gives us symptoms. And I think I’ve understood now why it’s been so hard and painful trying to constantly be told to...

    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    Thank you so much Wonko. Don’t be sorry, it’s not garbled at all. what you and others have written is so helpful and is very different from anything I had heard from anyone else before. It made me think last night about all the things I’ve been told by professionals and tried over the past 4...

    The hardware/software analogy of the BPS theory

    This is exactly it. I can only speak from my experience and from the interviews I listened to on curable from other people using the app, as well as things I picked up during the PRINCE trial. In the app - they specifically have a bit all about education of “pain science” which they apply to...

    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    But I don’t know what I actually can and can’t do. :( I don’t really know what helps people with severe M.E. I try to rest but am not getting any better as a result of that, and I cannot sit up much at all for years now. It’s getting harder and I am scared, and I don’t know what I could do to...

    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    Are you sure this is graded exercise? Oh my god I feel like crying now. But I’ve been through GET on the PRINCE trial and it wasn’t like this.

    Activity baseline vs activity ceiling, why concepts and language matter

    Ok, so I’ve read some of these posts and am very confused, please can people clarify? I’m working with a physio at the moment. She is very nice. it’s an organisation that has been helping people with M.E for a while. However - she definitely is working with definitions of baseline. And people...

    Will an app a day, keep the doctor away? A critical look at BPS based phone apps.

    I’ve tried this app, still have it as I bought a years subscription when on offer and now cannot give it back, will post more when I can on details + screenshots. It’s ridiculous. Made me feel like my trauma was behind it. Also referenced lots of studies but forgot which ones.something about...

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Yes. The shared sense of all of us together, who are all in this position with M.E. One day we will all get the answers we need and all of us will be able to get treatment. even if it is very hard until then, we will get there :) <3

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    And @rainy it makes me very sad to read how you’ve been feeling. It is a very hard burden to bear. Please know you’re not alone. There are lots of us, including me, who understand <3.

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Oh rainy.. all of what you’ve said, I felt that 100% too. It has been so, so painful since the CCI issue came out and truthfully over the past months I did become suicidal over it...the whole process, the hopelessness, the anxiety, fearing that I would get worse if I didn’t do surgery, not...

    New poor Guardian article "ME and the perils of internet activism" 28th July 2019

    Thank you @Adrian, also I think the Guardian’s reply is just weird and they haven’t addressed any of your points.

    Protocol: Persistent physical symptoms reduction intervention: a system change and evaluation (PRINCE), 2015 onwards, Chalder, Moss-Morris, et al

    I wish they would do the going away part. And yes it is like a cult, one that the NHS and many other healthcare systems have bought into completely.

    Protocol: Persistent physical symptoms reduction intervention: a system change and evaluation (PRINCE), 2015 onwards, Chalder, Moss-Morris, et al

    It actually kept coming up as adverts on social media. It came up on insta a few times and I kept ignoring it because i only use Instagram to keep up to date with book releases and Harry Potter news and wanted nothing to do with it. Then it came up on Facebook. Then it came up on Instagram...

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Did you get a reply Trish? Personally I am happy if someone is studying this. I just want to know how they’re studying it and on what basis. Like a proper study. Because we do need more answers from proper research, and not theories. Until then, theories are taken as fact by some people, and...

    Protocol: Persistent physical symptoms reduction intervention: a system change and evaluation (PRINCE), 2015 onwards, Chalder, Moss-Morris, et al

    Somewhere in the booklet it says “your symptoms are real” But.. Elsewhere it says, “you have nothing to lose” And: “ Firstly, let’s begin by better understanding how the human body works. Our body consists of physical body parts (skeleton, skin, muscles, internal organs etc.) and body systems...
