I realise being in a couple or living with family with ME has its own difficulties and I wouldn’t choose to live with others. However I have spent a few days or weeks here and there where I haven’t had to do any cooking or tidying or organising getting maintenance jobs done etc and that felt...

Good to see researchers other than @dave30th looking at this issue of spin

I feel it more in my lower back and pelvis like my muscles are struggling to hold my torso up. But then I’m overweight so it’s a lot of effort.

Maybe some of these vile twitter comments about long Covid not being real will really start to enlighten long Covid people that if they have ME or not they are still in for a load of crap.

Oh no I have lost the thread I wasn’t saying it should be specified anywhere just an example that not all psychological support involves trying to control people.

Im similar Linda.

I’m possibly falling into the trap of thinking what works for me would work for everyone else but I genuinely think person centred counselling is worthwhile people with ME trying if they have the possibility.

Yes @Peter Trewhitt as soon as I saw the title I thought best improvement would be stop the training, get rid of it altogether.

If you change the order date on Ocado double check their system hasn’t created a duplicate order - just saying :wtf:

Mod note: For technical reasons, the initial post in this thread had to be deleted. The post was from FicaR94: Does it happen to you that you feel full and than suddenly very hungry, without gradual increase? It often happens to me, what would be the explanation for that? ************ Reply...

Have you shared this with any of the long Covid advocates maybe they will post on their groups?

Yep no charge. Saw somewhere that finally one of the big supermarkets is looking at (suitably strong) paper bags.

Interesting idea MEM it could be a simple table showing the title of the study, the names of researchers, the start & finish dates, reported funding amounts and name of funding body, any papers published

Ok good if it’s less deadly but what if it leaves more with chronic symptoms- obviously this will not be known for some time

If the manual you have to work to is idiotic it is an invidious situation it doesn’t necessarily mean the individual member of staff is an idiot. they may not know any better because that is how they have been trained and it is all they know. They may realise it is a pile of tripe but they are...

I don’t think the IAPT staff are idiots they just aren’t professional counsellors psychologists. Or if they are they are over qualified for the actual job they are doing limited to working through the manual in a mechanistic way which must be soul destroying and probably explains the bad staff...

The IAPT CBT I had was much more like training sessions I’ve had at work where it was about getting basic messages about say health and safety or discrimination or data security where everyone in the organisation had to have the same sessions. Eventually they put these on the Intranet as...

Of interest possibly I had Ocado booked for Thursday. Was in today refining my order as I try to book orders far ahead on approximate needs then tidy it up a couple of days beforehand when I have a better idea what I actually need. I was offered alternative delivery slot tomorrow pm for no...

I think these days there’s too much focus on CBT. I had generic low intensity IAPT CBT which I’ve said many times for me was a sausage machine experience. I have counselling I pay for from a counsellor who does person centred counselling which is a completely different experience. If only...

I’ve mentioned before Waitrose is free delivery minimum order £60. They do have basics range as well so not all their stuff is “posh” food. Their tins & own brand detergents etc don’t seem too different to prices I pay at Sainsbury’s.
