Same in the Netherlands.

https://www.steungroep.nl/nieuws/423-30-maart-2018-uwv-trekt-consequenties-uit-advies-gezondheidsraad-over-me The UWV(Our version of DWP I reckon) sent out a memo to their doctors that refusing to follow a CBT/GET course can no longer be used to deny benefits. Article is in dutch and I ain't...

I'd welcome the bastards with open arms. Self-preservation and all.

She is presented with enough evidence that she doesn't have the right to claim being naive.

Yeh, a bunch of us even tried it with the hopes of getting better. It's the finding out we'd been duped and made sicker while also cutting us off from other help that got our collective goat.

Damn, I'd be looking like a ghoul if they'd taken that much from me.

Kicked up again. @Action for M.E. , we're all eagerly awaiting an answer.

I don't see the heat being turned down anytime soon. Anyone that reads anything about afme will know how poor they have been for us. If anything them joining this forum and threads like these popping up has turned the heat on again. Aslong as there are intelligent people here to challenge them...

Gotta keep pressuring though.

Clever adversaries would stear well clear of defending the indefensible.

It's pointless, I agree. I just don't see it as harmful or anything, what is Sharpe gonna do to us that he hasn't already done?

Whatever he has up his sleeve he's gonna do regardless of anything we say to him. The man isn't bothered with patients or facts.

You could explain those rules any way you want. Insulting might just be a truth that you don't want to hear, as seems to be the case in many instances.

It shows what they were all about and what they continue to be all about. Small hint, they're not about helping patients.

You can't keep quiet anymore out of fear of feeding some stereotype those bastards created of us. If we keep quiet nothing will change.

Good reminder of how terrible the man has been for us. He has got to go if they really want to earn back the patients trust.

Can't blame people for being sceptical of an organisation that for most of it's existence did nothing to help pwme. Instead, if anything, gave a platform to people who have been seriously harmful to our cause. Crawley going, Ponting taking her place and the new agenda are all well and good. But...

That's only part of the story though, most important is gonna be to find ways to alleviate or cure our disease when it comes to hope.

That Chalder statement and the fact that Wessely was both a stakeholder/supporter(someone help me, what was it?) or whatever to PACE and the one who set up the ME section of Cochrane should put to bed any claims of unbiased review from Cochrane. We should have all our advocates keep that info at...
