    Guidance for commissioners of services for people with medically unexplained symptoms - 2017

    I don’t believe the NHS would be so naive as to have clinics called Medically Unexplained Symptoms clinic. The MUS people have already done reaseach on what to call it bodily distress disorder, persistent physical symptoms etc they will find some meaningless but inoffensive name. I believe...

    Bath Fatigue Clinic - example of advice that harms child

    Maybe they will put their complaint in support of Dr Myhills GMC complaint. I saw on Facebook that there are now 42 people with ME who have joined in.

    IiME letter to Mark Baker (NICE) re: CBT & GET as recommended treatments

    Interesting comments from Jane Colby about the bits of guidance Tymes Trust consider to be ok (but are being ignored).

    Cognitive behavioural therapy for MS-related fatigue explained: A longitudinal mediation analysis, 2018, van den Akker et al

    Spot on @Woolie I’ve got a brilliant counsellor I’ve had for many years pre ME diagnosis. She is an agenda free sounding board for any issues/decisions I’m facing and gives me a safe place to vent feelings that aren’t easily discussed with family and friends - eg if the feelings are about their...

    UK: "Minister for loneliness appointed to continue Jo Cox's work"

    I’m a bit grumpy today and cynical this is good in theory but I’m a bit concerned that she’s also minister for sport and will be all about getting people “active”. Definitely some education about people with severe ME will be needed.

    Format of NICE stakeholder meeting?

    Sharpe bravely ventured out then - I hope nobody harassed him

    Are objective outcomes of cognitive function possible?

    I definitely find that I can do more reading and posting lying down. When I was still working I had to take breaks to lie down on my sofa to rest. And if I had used my energy into the red I could still have a reasonably sensible discussion for 30 minutes on the phone lying down. And I’m...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Professor Crawley’s Bogus BuzzFeed Claims - 17th January 2018

    Belter DT is like a terrier digging stuff up and bringing it to us as a present. In this case some gems from JE that he’s had temporarily buried. I like the BPS ideological brigades name harking back to their supposed left wing supposed activism.

    IiME letter to Mark Baker (NICE) re: CBT & GET as recommended treatments

    Good point @Barry probably wouldn’t be good for NICE to concede this straight away no doubt the BPS machinery is in operation trying to maintain the status quo and they would have a lot of hassle from the BACME people on the lines of you’re leaving us without guidance. If the community can...

    USA: NIH National Institutes of Health news - latest ME/CFS webinar 14 Jan 2025

    A couple of minutes garbled embarrassment about ME - then moves on to blowing the trumpet about billions being spent on cancer probably not the best juxtaposition to sell the “big” ME funding. clearly the comms people involved in this piece are clueless. I don’t disagree with the spending on...

    (Not a recommendation) Alastair Miller on CFS

    He (CB) is probably loving that we’ve got a thread on here about his one man attempt at BPS propaganda. I guess with so much more positive media coverage in recent months he’s feeling the need to get the BPS message out there to the masses. He seems to be a lone voice on MEA Facebook popping up...

    Petition: Appeal to NICE concerning the Guideline Committee for ME/CFS

    Yes that’s great now over 1800 community coming out in numbers

    Format of NICE stakeholder meeting?

    AFME saying GET “can worsen the symptoms” of people with ME is the understatement of the chuffing century. On average that may be the case but it seems to me that I have in the last 18 months or so since I began getting involved in forums/social media that I have read numerous personal accounts...

    Dr Myhill’s complaint to GMC about PACE authors.

    interesting that there is a running total of numbers of letters submitted already 11 how high will this go - like the NICE review petition this has the potential to be compelling if the numbers ramp up.

    Dr Myhill’s complaint to GMC about PACE authors.

    Hi @Trish i think you would fall within 5 in her list of reasons for submitting evidence - denial of referral Edited to add I think it's likely there are quite a lot of people who that's happened to
