    Letter from parents of children with ME to paediatricians in the UK

    What precisely makes you think it is implausible? (BTW, on the basis of having talked to lots of people with the illness, many doctors think the exact contrary)

    Publications that show ME is biological

    I don't understand your reasonning here. Whatever the problem (signaling or not) the CPET tests suggest that there is a problem that is not malingering, nor deconditioning, but has a biological reality. I understand that you're challenging results to be sure they're reliable, but I think...

    Esther Crawley's contribution to #MEawarenessweek

    That's weird, and I don't know if this means anything at all, but in France, there's a similar trend with autism (disclaimer: I'm not leaning to the right). Libération (a newspaper comparable to The Guardian), and L'Humanité (linked with the communist party) have been (and still are at some...

    NICE ME/CFS Guideline stakeholder scoping workshop, Fri 25th May 2018

    While there are no firm evidences for a mechanism, there have been many studies that tend to show that there is something abnormal happening (I'm thinking about metabolomics or exercise studies...). We don't know yet the importance of these abnormalities, the role they play, if they discriminate...

    Michael Sharpe skewered by @JohntheJack on Twitter

    It reminds me of Trudie Chalder totaly contradicting herself on 2 points in a Guardian article: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jan/14/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-patients-fear-exercise-hinder-treatment-study-me So - a phobia in which you have to prevent patients from doing the dreaded...

    Clare Gerada: influence on UK medical practice and ME/CFS management

    Oh my, she's not even pretending to be impartial. In line with her previous gross anti-patient stance here: https://www.s4me.info/threads/clare-gerada-patients-need-to-be-more-accountable-for-their-health-suggests-gp-mental-health-lead.1489/#post-26213

    Publications that show ME is biological

    I don't think the PACE trial failure in itself disproves the theory of a psychological cause for ME. There are other theories not tested in the PACE trial. This failure doesn't even disprove the false illness belief hypothesis (but it certainly casts a serious doubt on its validity). It just...

    Rethinking the treatment of CFS — a reanalysis and evaluation of findings from a recent major trial of GET and CBT (2018) Wilshire et al.

    Sorry, long (and a bit personal) post. In the early days, when I was still in limbo (am I out now? Wondering), I was told by my GP that my neurological symptoms were functional, which was not really a firm diagnosis but a track which I followed up to Stone and al. (nearly nothing on the subject...

    Janet Dafoe - The Whitney Plea

    I just came across a few videos on twitter, and they made me feel really uneasy. First, it is difficult to understand. Then, the "pray/please" gesture for me is more a begging sign. I don't like it at all, I'm not begging for help, I'm asking governments to do their duty into financing a major...

    Not a joke... :( What a bitter hijack... Direct link: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/blogs/worries-that-keep-you-awake-at-night/8466 Just a little extract to let you have a taste of her revolting prose (this woman really has no decency): Leaving the field would be your best contribution, Esther...

    Effects of unsupportive social interactions, stigma, and symptoms on patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis and cfs, McManimen et al, 2018

    I haven't read it all yet, but very interesting so far. THAT is the kind of psychosocial research we need!
