The Norwegian ME Association - Rogaland County - is about to launch their project on adapted education for children and adolescents with ME. The result is a "tool box" consisting of a lecture with PowerPoint presentation, four animation films and a booklet which will be presented at schools...

New blogpost from the initiator of the petition. Ikke min kompetansetjeneste google translation: Not my Competence Service She leads with a story about an ME patient's consultation with a senior doctor at the regional hospital, department for infectious diseases. The doctor said there was no...

@BristolCMM is back on Twitter, now as "The (un)official Twitter account for the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University for Bristol, UK"

A bit OT but as the theme is Cochrane and this is a patient forum, I thought someone here might be interested to have a listen:

Huh. Didn't know that. You are right, his name pops up at NIPH, but can't find a job title. https://www.fhi.no/personer-og-kontaktsteder/senter-informerte-helsebeslutninger/sir-iain-chalmers/

Oh, that's a great idea if @JenB connected with Sandi Toksvig. I adore Sandi Toksvig. And my impression is that she has increased her interest for medicine after one of her children started med school. Thanks for sharing the link @JohnTheJack !

That's not my impression, but then again only from an ME patient's perspective with compatriots in Cochrane reviews on Exercise Therapy and CFS. Despite lots of criticism for their work, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (where the reviewers currently work) is doing nada.

If anyone wants to tell about David Tuller's blogpost on Cochrane, or otherwise bring their attention to Cochrane, ME and GET/CBT, here's the Journal's Facebook post on the article. (too foggy headed now to do it myself). If you prefer to contact the journalist directly her name and email...

Ugeskriftet: Is the glow surrounding Cochrane paling? Ugeskriftet for Læger - The Journal of the Danish Medical Association - is Denmark's main scientific journal within the health and medical fields. They've written an article about Cochrane as it is having its annual colloquial this...

I haven't read the thread in detail, but so agree with you here. I have a feeling that some with a PS/BPS-approach have a tendency to accuse biomedical research for not taking into account that people consists of both body and mind. But that is simply not true! My impression is that the...

They have an English version of the article as well! https://kavlifondet.no/en/2018/09/press-release-the-kavli-trust-renews-its-support-for-me-research-at-haukeland-university-hospital/

The research team has just received more funds to continue their work. More about that here: https://www.s4me.info/threads/news-from-scandinavia.647/page-16#post-104057 In a news article from the foundation who has given the funds, it says that detailed results from RituxME and CycloME are...

This was wonderful news :woot: Kavlifondet has been a crucial financial supporter to Øystein Fluge and Olav Mella's research team over years. You can give them a thumbs up and a thank you here:

Øystein Fluge will have a lecture at the upcoming ME-symposium at Stanford - this can be streamed live. People from his research team will also have lectures at two ME conferences in Sweden in October, also this will be available for streaming (but the lectures will probably be in Norwegian). I...

Oh, it's in the video! Sorry, I didn't catch it first time I saw it. As I understood it he talks about chronic fatigue as a symptom, and ME as the name of the disease, so no referral to the disease as chronic fatigue. :) Edit to add: And on wikipedia it says he came down with Myalgic...

I still don't understand, I'm afraid. Could you please guide me to where he calls ME chronic fatigue?

I am not sure I understand. He has ME, hasn't he? In this recent interview with Murdoch, he says he got sick with ME/CFS in 1990.
