    Trial By Error: Some Thoughts About an Upcoming Article

    Well it has been suggested that it's not helpful to carry on discussing it: And the conversation has now moved on to much more interesting matters:

    We aren't talking about the video.

    Protocol: Persistent physical symptoms reduction intervention: a system change and evaluation (PRINCE), 2015 onwards, Chalder, Moss-Morris, et al

    Unfortunately I'm proof of this. I have been playing online chess obsessively since last April (as a way to pass the time and keep my spirits up since all my other hobbies have had to be cancelled). In that time my health has improved. So I obviously didn't have a medical condition and chess has...

    'E-cigarettes help more smokers quit than patches and gum' (30.01.2019) Kelland / Reuters

    It was for me before I had ME. Fortunately I have a lot of willpower, so I persevered.

    'E-cigarettes help more smokers quit than patches and gum' (30.01.2019) Kelland / Reuters

    There's always a nurse or two who need to sneak out for a smoke too and sympathise with the patients. Last time I was in hospital the nurse showed my neighbour where the small stone was you could put in the door to stop it closing so you could get back in after sneaking out for a smoke at night.

    Me too. I'm catching myself taking a sharp intake of breath just reading this thread. No desire to smoke, just seem to have retained the breathing associated with it.

    Trial By Error: Bristol Investigating Crawley Papers

    As long as no-one finds themself unable to resist mining that word and all its connotations for humourous effect you should be ok. I remain sitting at the barricades as instructed.

    Trial By Error: Bristol Investigating Crawley Papers

    Promiscuous. What a great choice of words, made me laugh out loud.

    Trial By Error: Some Thoughts About an Upcoming Article

    It's setting up an argument from authority - Doctors have told me this, David Tuller isn't one so how can he possibly have the presumption to say they're wrong? If DT was treating patients, it would be right to point out that he's not a doctor. But he's writing, and he's qualified to do so...

    Trial By Error: Some Thoughts About an Upcoming Article

    What a wonderful answer from Professor Racaniello to a muck-raking hack looking for dirt. He might as well have continued " ... and you, Sir? What is it you call what you do?" If the conversation has to move on to the role of the SMC and the media anyway, how kind of them to provide a perfect...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Steve Brine's Troubling Claim in Parliamentary Debate on ME

    Hopefully he didn't mean it addresses the misconceptions of the 27 other MPs who spoke. Surely he didn't mean that. He couldn't. I suspect the UK government got exactly what they ordered. They may now be examining ways to plausibly deny it and look shocked and horrified. That will probably have...

    Open letter to the Trustees and Staff of Action for ME about the 'Toolkit for professionals'

    Please bear in mind that we are all real people, and are really ill, and have been trying to engage directly with AfME for a very long time and getting nowhere.

    Open letter to the Trustees and Staff of Action for ME about the 'Toolkit for professionals'

    How on earth does publishing a booklet and giving it to the DWP count as "internal use"? If it's for internal use only, then keep it to yourself. If you're going to disseminate information based on the reports, be ready to provide the evidence. You can't have it both ways.

    I might start doing that. Thanks.

    UK Parliamentary debate today - Thursday 24th January 2019

    Was that more or less than the woman who started going on about her football team afterwards? Or the knife crime debate in Westminster Hall?
