There was a French article a few days ago not about doctors who have chronic illness, but who used an app to simulate daily life with a chronic illness. Even that far from reality experience was an eye openner for them...

This man faced death threats and abuse. His crime? He suggested that ME was a mental illness https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/this-man-faced-death-threats-and-abuse-his-crime-he-suggested-that-me-was-a-mental-illness-t250dr25xg5 See this thread for more ugly criticism of "activists"...

Yurk. The bully rewarded. Seriously? Hum, this element is missing to make Saint Esther a perfect marthyr figure. Btw this twitter account has allways been a bad idea, not funny and too easy a target...

Added :)

Added (in red to avoid confusion with the title, I tried to choose a not too agressive red)

I just created a new thread listing ongoing studies. It's the first draft and I'd like to get your feedbacks to have the most uptodate list. So do not hesitate to signal any ongoing study not yet listed. Signal any error (spelling, broken link...) There are several studies that could be listed...

An old article, but I just came across it. This article talks of some of the problems we encounter because people do not understand what we're dealing with. The author refers to this as "the healthy privilege" (as described by psychologist Dr. Becker-Schutte)...

I am currently doing a list of ongoing trials for the Science Library (treatment and research), but it's very time consuming and complex!

@Dechi has been using nimodipine IIRC.
