Wouldn’t work in the U.K. how could you train a rat to drive a car with manual gearbox :whistle:

Im absolutely not suggesting there’s any value at all in people diving in to respond on Twitter there are already some good responses. And I did see a tweet a few days ago where Dr Alwan said she wasn’t reading responses on social media as she had had so many.

I’m posting this here and want to flag up that I have messaged ME Association to request that Charles Shepherd asks Nina Muirhead and Paul Garner to try to work with some of these Long Covid advocates possibly doing a seminar so that they at least have a basic understanding of ME. We...

https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/5-224 Apologies for not copying the text I’m referring to. Under The subheading The perils of pandemic medicine, in the final paragraph of this section the authors state - i paraphrase - that they argue for not being subsumed into other illness...

Good to have confirmation that the guidelines on chronic primary pain don’t apply to PWME. The wording about GET that CoVId patients are not within the scope of the ME guidance is very weasel words fence sitting and will not influence any NHS staff who are determined that GET should be used or...

Sorry if this is a noddy level question @Dx Revision Watch but I’m confused by multiple requests being submitted. Is this simply because of a lack of coordination within the NHS - different organisations submitting requests without checking if others are already addressing the issue. Or is...

Morrison’s putting limits on loo rolls and disinfectant not due to stock shortages but proactively to prevent bulk panic buying https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-54283153

If I have to queue up or spend a long time socialising sitting up at a table without any breaks it is going to make me feel worse at the time but also I am definitely getting PEM the following day. I don’t know if I’m interpreting this right but it feels like standing in one spot drains my...

I am ok walking round in the pool and floating. If I start trying to swim I get cramp in my calves very quickly so I can only potter about in shallow water. I can walk for longer/further than I can swim. It was a heated pool but not actually warm. As I’m having work done on my house and...

when a member of my extended family asked me at a Christmas get together a couple of years ago what is ME and I said it’s like having flu a lot of the time it was understood and I Think registered as pretty serious. In my experience flu like symptoms is reasonably well understood by the...
