    Animated (mini) documentary on ME/CFS - Open Medicine Foundation

    I don’t want to be hypercritical and he’s entitled to say what he thinks but if I step back and look purely in terms of its effectiveness as an awareness tool I think finishing with the words it’s crazy it’s insane is problematic. I decided not to share the video because I didn’t want friends...

    Backbench Business Committee for next Parliament debate

    It’s not a question of just challenging GET and saying proper CBT is ok but not BPS CBT that pushes you to increase activity. It is a question of going back to the thinking behind the alleged treatment that patients are being offered whatever it is called because they have rebranded and...

    My guess is a draft page that got accidentally published before final/signed off

    Backbench Business Committee for next Parliament debate

    Well that’s commendable @It's M.E. Linda being a PPS and still making the effort to be there and while he wasnt allowed to join the presenters he was making his support very clear rather than hiding behind his new job and fading away. I hope he is able to have some influence from the inside of...

    Backbench Business Committee for next Parliament debate

    I think we were all very much ready for something positive after several negative days. The chair was pretty obvious in his views so let’s hope the committee do get some time allocated from the parliamentary business managers. I think the cross party backbench support is working very well.

    NICE guideline review: A list of appointees to the ME/CFS Guideline Committee has now been published

    As we’d not heard from him I contacted Russell through MEA Facebook which is his job. He doesn’t get onto S4ME these days as his time is spent on work/rest. I keep meaning to email MEA comms guy who was appointed last year to suggest he joins or gives it as a role to one of his team.

    Horses for courses: choosing an evidence-based psychological therapy for your patient, 2018, David McCormack, Trudie Chalder

    A lot of patients have adopted the concept of the benevolent lie when involved with NHS CFS clinics ‘yes here’s my homework activity schedule - I’ve been doing extra activity and I’m not making it up honest’

    Cochrane ME/CFS GET review temporarily withdrawn

    Agreed but it just depends on their approach to updating pages. in some organisations with a publishing team they might create a fresh version that can be checked and approved for publication and if someone accidentally pushed that live rather than overwriting the existing page at the existing...

    Turns out naps are not so bad for you. (New study, open access.)

    i saw somewhere that lions spend about 20 hours resting and sleeping and four being active. Bears hibernate. There’s nothing wrong with animals adapting to their environment. I also saw that some people are night owls probably because their ancestors were more adapted to keeping watch late at...

    Cochrane ME/CFS GET review temporarily withdrawn

    Because the newer page is orphaned and won’t have received anything like the number of page views it wouldn’t surface very high on any google search rankings

    Cochrane ME/CFS GET review temporarily withdrawn

    Very good point @Barry is there a feedback function on the page? From my experience with getting stuff published at work it is conceivable that it is a web publishing error where the version that’s currently an orphan page should have replaced the other version but the person pushing it live it...

    It was inevitable they wouldn’t let it go down without a fight.

    NICE guideline review: A list of appointees to the ME/CFS Guideline Committee has now been published

    They won’t be publicly keeping NICE on the hook but they will be in the discussions to highlight the debunking and the patient experience which NICE claims to take seriously now.
