    Dialogues for a neglected illness - videos on experiences of people with ME (funded by Wellcome Foundation)

    Cant wait to watch it. @Natalie these videos are amazing. Just to let you know that the severe ME one helped me recently in a discussion with my carer & to give to neighbours who were making too much sound. I'm sure you know they are helping people but just wanted to let you know they making a...

    Sick of the Sick Role: Narratives of What “Recovery” Means to People With CFS/ME, 2020, White et al

    What a *$!!*@$! I'm pretty sure we could - lol maybe should - put together a list of idiotic, patronising and downright insulting/abusive things that Drs have said to us. Didn't we start a thread like that at some point i cant remember. Perhaps its the 'irritating things' thread.

    Sleep meds poll

    i take occasional diphenhydramine & doxylamine succinate (both anti histamines) I find the latter almost miraculous & even the former will make me stay asleep at least 5-6hrs once i drop off. I took one on sat night as i'd been massively stressed hardly slept all wk & had something important to...

    Sick of the Sick Role: Narratives of What “Recovery” Means to People With CFS/ME, 2020, White et al

    Exactly. They have spent the best part of 40yrs erroneously shaming PwME for supposedly wanting to 'adopt the sick role' for some kind of 'secondary gain'. I have seen that phrase or some version of it repeated scores of times in various articles, papers etc that the BPS proponents have...

    Sick of the Sick Role: Narratives of What “Recovery” Means to People With CFS/ME, 2020, White et al

    All that quote says is that she wants to leave behind is the label of ME & the crap that goes with it. If they had asked the patient 'if you had MS would you feel the same?' Id be willing to bet she would say no.

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    very disappointing that even Maureen Hanson doesnt know that palpitations, tinnitus, chest pain, persistent cough, are not uncommon in ME :banghead: I know i have had them all since the original virus/infection that set mine off. Tinnitis & palpitations seem very common from my experience of...

    NICE ME/CFS draft guideline - publication dates and delays 2020

    Ok thanks @Trish huge thanks to all the committee & to everyone working on it, i am soooo glad to be part of a group that producing what i know will be a sensible, scientifically sound response. I always feel really proud to be an S4 member, but somehow that is esecially true atm. :)

    NICE ME/CFS draft guideline - publication dates and delays 2020

    Is there a time line for this more detailed than 'as soon as possible'? I know there is a deadline for submitting responses to NICE, but i have a really big unavoidable & non postpone-able thing i have to do regarding my own life circumstances this wk, so i wont be able to read any of it in...

    NICE ME/CFS guideline - draft published for consultation - 10th November 2020

    This i must have missed that, do you recall where can i find it? sorry if it's obvious i not well today struggling to keep up. In general i feel still very problematic & in danger of being re-written - see on the other thread @Tom Kindlon share of Bart's comment on the draft for the previous...

    The biology of coronavirus COVID-19 - including research and treatments

    My sentiments entirely Mij, I'm not anti-vax by any stretch of the imagination, but anyone who just takes their word for it is a bit naive iyam. It will need to be seriously scrutinised. I hope that need for scrutiny & interrogation of the rsearch will not be lost in the relief and urgent...

    NICE ME/CFS draft guideline - publication dates and delays 2020

    Yes. I have a very pessimistic view I'm afraid, & will just be relieved if despite everyone's hard work it's not essentially the same as before (only worse because once it's reviewed & re-endorsed it will be harder to argue against). Cant tell you how thrilled i'll be to be wrong :) However i...
