    Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health conference, 13-15th March 2018, "Children First – Ethics, Morality and Advocacy in Childhood"

    I literally can't face reading the above right now, but will do. Thanks for putting all this together. Do they acknowledge that children can get severe ME?

    Jen Brea comments on Esther Crawley's behaviour

    I understand that a child is currently under threat of being hospitalised for intensive inpatient treatment. The family are terrified and do not want publicity. EC is still an active threat.

    Trial By Error: A Sneak Preview of Next Week’s Post 27 DECEMBER 2017

    Thanks Amw66. I assume that as they state that the average age was 13, with a peak prevalence of 15, there must have been significant numbers of 11 and under, ie primary. Good luck with your work on educational provision

    Trial By Error: A Sneak Preview of Next Week’s Post 27 DECEMBER 2017

    @Amw66 or anyone else. Did the Dowsett and Colby research cover school age 4-18, or just secondary. I ask because EC seems to emphasise that she was the main person showing CFS in Primary schools. Does anyone have a link to the D and C paper, I only seem to be able to access parts of it. Thanks

    Fortunately our daughter was 16. She needed a tutor for Maths AS level.

    Forward ME Group Minutes – 17th October 2017

    I think it was the APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) that was disbanded, because very few MPs were interested in attending and little progress was made. (I may have remembered this wrongly)

    Trial By Error: My Brief Encounter with Professor Crawley

    It is one of the numerous conditions he mentions. He's also involved in teaching/supervising other therapists. @Barry don't worry I'm not proposing anything militant I just think he may be interested in hearing some of the science-based information eg bullet points from IOM. It's got to be...

    Per Fink - speaker at Swiss Re Ins Summit 15 - 17 Nov 2017

    Oh no, not central sensitisation again! Trudie C managed to get that in just before the end of the Q&A, following the morning session at the fatigue conference. This was after a few speakers including Julia Newton. Some of the questions and responses were reasonable, but I suspect the conference...

    Transcript of Professor Julia Newton's ‘Standing up for fatigue’ talk at the 'Understanding the neurobiology of fatigue' conference Nov 2017

    Overall I thought it was a great presentation from Prof N. I read transcript, haven't seen slides. There is a particularly offensive comment in the Q & A about how personality affects self-reports on fatigue, pain and depression. Comments on how those with a high neuroticism and low...
