    The CMRC's new biomedical focus and big ambitions (my new blog)

    I don't know if Wendy gets that. I imagine her daughters are onto anything like that. I only know Wendy through her blog, so don't really feel able to ask for more details. Know this is getting a tad off topic, but we do get a council tax reduction of 1 band because we have a downstairs...

    ME is not a functional disorder: ME Association 13,000+ petition sent to NICE

    Nothing I presume. And nothing will happen before the scoping thingy or even later. Or it's already been filed in the waste bin. :arghh:

    The CMRC's new biomedical focus and big ambitions (my new blog)

    Thanks for the link @Sly Saint. Wendy is too young to claim Attendance Allowance. She got PIP initially, but when it came up again she lost it all. Did the Mandatory Reconsideration, but didn't feel up to going on to fight at Tribunal - I did try to encourage her, but understand why she decided...

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    The thing that worries me is that if she's "Director" she'll be in charge of what research gets done. And I'd bet my bottom dollar that it'll be the usual carp (as we say on moneysavingexpert forums to avoid getting a line of asterisks for bad language). Plus she'll block any biological research...

    The CMRC's new biomedical focus and big ambitions (my new blog)

    Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but it does concern dementia. I've been following (subscribed to her blog so get email when a new post) a lady called Wendy with early onset dementia. She has a blog, and her book about living with dementia was published a couple of weeks (?)...

    United Kingdom: Getting a Wheelchair on the NHS

    I have an NHS wheelchair, but only got it post PIP face to face. Though at the time I was waiting for an appointment. My previous wheelchair was "borrowed" in that the local ME group got the local council to donate most of the cost of it. I was the only person prepared to store it in my house...

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    Or maybe they should just disband. Let those who are serious about proper biological research join another organisation that is patient friendly. Or set up one that is patient friendly and hopefully refuse any psychiatrists membership.

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    I am horrified that BACME are going to vote at their conference whether to join CMRC. And even more horrified that it appears CMRC hasn't complained about it. I have no confidence in CMRC after reading about that. I don't understand why nobody in CMRC appears to understand why patients might be...

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    CP to be leading - from the minutes that's Carmine Pariante? If so we're out of the frying pan into the fire. Or even worse. Initially I was happy that EC was going, but now I'm even more worried than if she'd stayed.

    Esther Crawley

    HAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAAA Crawley do useful work? What planet do you live on? (sorry) She'll continue to do whatever brings in the spondulicks and the possibility of a dame-hood. After all, Sir Simon made it to being knighted, so why not Lady Esther? :sick:

    Esther Crawley

    Have to say that was my first thought too... Followed by GET. Cos if you can get better with CBT you'll be deconditioned and need to get back to full health as lets face it stuff like appendicitis is merely MUS. [/sarcasm]

    DWP seeking CCTV footage against disabled

    Fightback4justice have had problems with people trolling on Facebook and also pretending to be them. So of course you will see "some other people" raising concerns. Without Fightback4justice's help I would not have moved from basic Activities of Daily Living and the Moving Around activities to...

    DWP seeking CCTV footage against disabled

    It's from the founder of Fightback4justice and is on their Facebook page. I don't know if you can access it without joining the group. I would say that Michelle knows what's going on with DWP, so this is true. :eek: :sick: :arghh:

    Pernicious Anaemia or ME - misdiagnosis concerns

    Can't say I find any placebo effect from B12 injections. Or at least not thus far! Had loading dose last summer, 6 injections alternate days, plus folic acid pills. Since then have had one more injection, 3 months later, and am almost due another. Still on folic acid too. Nurse practitioners...

    May 12th/ME Awareness Month - suggest how S4ME might get involved.

    Used to love to sing... As a child when bedtime I used to lie in bed and sing all the songs I knew. Back then it was mostly hymns! :rolleyes: What we used to sing in school. And when I'd sung every song I knew I'd finish off with God Save the Queen! :laugh: Suspect parents were relieved when...

    May 12th/ME Awareness Month - suggest how S4ME might get involved.

    Too far for me to travel, but wish I could. Sounds a lovely event. Perhaps record it and sell CDs or online stuff to raise money for research? I'm sure there's techie folks here who could advise? I'd buy! :)
