No. It very much depends on the yoga. Yep. One of my yoga instructors was in his late 70s. He'd have given most fit & healthy 20 year olds a run for their money.

I hope you get some answers for her @Amw66. From the sounds of things her ME is a lot worse than mine. My pain is better controlled these days but it's a horrible, horrible way to feel.

"Compassion focussed therapy" ? Riiiight. Here's a clue if you have to be taught compassion maybe you're in the wrong job? Is it possible you may be making moral judgements about your patients that you have no right to make?

Yes, muscle tightness is a symptom for me. It was one of my earliest symptoms and one if the most problematic along with cognitive issues. I had problems all over. My face and neck muscles caused quite a lot of pain and, for quite a while, I ended up feeling one side of my face was...

It's a very good question. Unfortunately, as caffeine withdrawal, bereavement that lasts more than two weeks over the loss of a loved one and someone else deciding that you're focusing too much on any symptom of a recognised and diagnosed physical ailment can now all be classed as mental health...

It doesn't to me either. The first time I went tharn (for any Watership Down fans), I had gone to the supermarket with IM. He said I'll just go get something and you get something else. I instantly forgot what he said. It was too bright with too many colours & too loud with too many...

And then they slap an acronym on as the title? Not only that an acronym which is already in use. Give me strength.........

I can see why they would issue the final guideline to stakeholders in confidence first. So, if an error has been made or someone has been misrepresented they have the opportunity to put it right before publishing. Isn't this standard practice? If I was writing a report for a client and had...

Done. Hopefully will be able to make another small contribution before it closes.

I don't know about a passive exercise machine but I saw a physio in the early days. This was when my ME was considered to be moderate. Invariably, many I arrived for my appointment she'd take one look at me and wince. I was in so much constant pain I couldn't begin to tell you where it hurt...

I think.muscle pain & stiffness that we experience can affect posture and that can have a knock on effect on breathing. Tightening & rounding of the shoulders & slumping of the chest with the head slumping back on the neck & chin coming up and forward all naturally tend to restrict natural...

The instructions here are......not that good, not detailed enough. For example the sitting upright breathing should perhaps include - Sitting upright comfortably - use a support behind the lower back if you need it. Ideally knees bent at right angles - so height of chair is important & this...

Been there, done that. Under the guidance of a really good physio. Some of the reasons for trying it at the time included- - Not great posture - many hours hunched over laptop keyboards, and being below average height means I'm not properly supported by a standard chair- the seat is often too...

Let's just stand back a little and review this situation. This person is a professor who also happened to become ill with an apparently self limiting illness. I'm going to go ahead and call it self limiting because he hasn't has any treatment scientifically proven to aid recovery. In addition...

I didn't receive anything about a survey. I've just double checked my inbox. I usually get the update emails. Is this something that just went out to a subset of individuals @Andy or have some of us dropped off the list?

I get chest problems too so I sympathise. Do you really need them in a modern building that should be well insulated. I doubt it. In a rural environment when you're replacing an open fireplace? That's different, i think. Plus maintaining woodland costs money, sale of logs from management...

Not necessarily all of the time, though. In other fields specialists have appraisals and career development paths. Some of it technical and some might be more personal development. There are training days allocated to meeting up with specialists with similar technical backgrounds where you...

Possibly. Our last batch were. We're just finishing the last of the seasoned wood we had from some serious pruning in our own garden - limbs from a sweet chestnut, apple and a split oak that had to come out. They were actually lower in moisture content - about 16% than some kiln dried wood...

I don't want to derail the thread here but as someone with a wood burning stove there is a point I would like to make here. Where I live, many people have open fires. I replaced my open fire with a wood burning stove years ago. It was one of the first things I did when I moved in. I am not...
