Article by Elizabeth Davis https://www.classicfm.com/music-news/feeling-stressed-join-a-choir/ Can't help feeling he'd like to do that research on us! :rofl: So it's not just us that has a belief that we "have a disorder".:sick:

I think this is a load of rubbish. Some days I feel more discomfort from others, usually after over-extending what I do. I'm sure if I stood on a drawing pin it would hurt just as much now as it did when I was healthy. So what "painful stimuli" are they talking about? It's the usual excuse to...

I have a feeling it probably goes with "elfin features"! ;)

Oddly enough I had a Christmas email from them this morning. They are part of EMIS, which provides some services to my GP practice. Booking appointments, ordering repeat prescriptions. On the website you use for that it seems they offer results of investigations too, but I can't access my...

Urk, thank you for the link - I think it's well beyond me to understand. But thank you for posting, it makes it much easier for others to follow a link rather than having to search, and then wonder which items are OK and which are kinda weirdo.

Perhaps we should try make a "fatigue" measure ourselves? Brainstorm ideas from we who actually know what "fatigue" is and isn't. Still ignores all the other probs we have, but anything *we* can come up with has got to be better than Chalder's idea of measurement surely.

@Sly Saint, thank you very much for your transcription of the interview with Pariante. :trophy@I find it very difficult to take in radio (and also video) stuff. I really appreciate that you take the time to make transcriptions so I can take the information in at my slow rate.

Lead legs has always been one of my symptoms (or should that be "signs"? Get muddled over nomenclature). Way back when I could still get out on my own, and still drive, and even attend (part time) university, it was one of my most nuisance things. Prob because I was doing more - it was first...

1% is high - 0.1-0.2% is the more usual estimate I think? So they only used a self report questionnaire to choose participants. :rolleyes: Plus it's about FSS. :eek: So the usual :arghh:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/dec/12/researchers-call-for-new-uti-urinary-tract-infections-testing-method Tests negative, no treatment offered... Must be down to those medically unexplained symptoms? ;)

It would do the assessors some good to walk in our shoes too! :)

Click on the image in the post, which brings the image up separately (kind of over the post). Then open it into a new tab (right click and choose "Open image in new tab"), and when hovered over it in the new tab you get the little magnifying glass + thing, when I went for that it showed it...

Yes, I caught that too. Put me off my lunch. Sadly I also caught Simon on BBC Breakfast which rather spoiled my early morning tea in bed. I expect he'll be on the other news this evening too, might try Channel 4 instead.

None of them medical though. SW could well run rings around them.

Liverpool has always been problematic over ME. :rolleyes: I'm so glad my GP decided it wasn't worth sending me to these people! :)

One of the occasions we lobbied our MP in HoC on May 12th Lady Mar came to meet with the ME demonstrators. Even then (must have been around 20 years ago?) when I suggested it would be Sir Simon soon, she said no, Lord Wessely. Very much afraid that time is now approaching. It will make life even...

I'm wrong about the dates etc. Here's what it says about Ethics Approval:

It's St Esther - she can do what she wants. :mad: But I haven't read the whole thing yet - maybe there's some sort of excuse? Guessing it might be something along the lines of "this data used for other papers so we can do what the hell we like with it now as we got permission before already."...

Surely this is just yet more Blah from the same data as @dave30th is looking at currently? Dates match? Adolescents and parents interviewed. Haven't had time to read the full paper yet.

Many years ago I went to a BPS (British Psychological Society) meeting in Edinburgh as a student. Both W and S were there. It's the only time I've seen them in the flesh. S had a goatee beard. We passed them in a corridor after their presentation. All over each other, thought they were about...
