There doesn't seem to be a date on this article, but the latest reference it makes is from 2009 and it doesn't discuss any events or research since then. Perhaps of historical interest.

We would also do everything necessary to cure ourselves. Since when do type A's feel happy being almost completely dependent on others in return for secondary benefits which never materialise? And who other than a type A perfectionist is going to be able to comply with all the details of Sarah...

Stoppit @Barry, just stoppit, right there.

There are also a lot of people who feed themselves on convenience foods who don't get ME. Correlation, causation and all that, not that she's even demonstrated a correlation. But if she had, do biscuits give you ME, or does ME make you eat biscuits? Although her "vicious cycle" comment may have...

I'm afraid you'll have to stop that:

You can read a lot of the book here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=IzhODwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false She has a roadmap to recovery, there's a one-page summary of it at the end of chapter 2: Recommended diet is paleo-ketogenic. You'll...

That is one hell of a video. I wonder how many non-ME sufferers will be able to watch it to the end. I have to decide whether to send it to my Swedish friends or not. I'm hesitant, but I think I must, because if the guy took 5 years to make it, it's the least I can do.

Well at least they didn't claim that all the calls were from the same person.

Well if we're talking about sexism I hope someone's going to offer a course for doctors teaching them that if a man comes into your practice complaining of a 6-week headache, shoving your finger up his arse to check his prostate is not appropriate. I never went back. Took me a whole host of...

You will not be able to say "I'd suggest you re-read my article" to the average non-informed reader on the internet. The may well skim over "getting better", or indeed the whole article, and be left with the impression that ME is something that improves because of your choice of words, whatever...

Seems to have his eye on the ball: https://www.roydswithyking.com/miley-v-friends-life-typical-story-sufferer-insurer/

I'm rather excited. The solicitors firm I worked for in London specialised in insurance litigation, but on the other side.

Well well well that is interesting. A law firm specialising in medical negligence and insurance litigation, offering conditional fee arrangements. I wonder if they've handled a class-action claim before? In my experience (which is limited I grant you, but I have been on the inside of a similar...

That is a very interesting article, and probably deserves a thread of its own. I would love to read a review of it by someone like Christopher Hitchens, but unfortunately he has been sadly gathered. Plenty of arguments to be made on both sides I'd say.

This is the equivalent of the "Britain's Biggest Scrounger" stories: https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/11453/the-welfies/ https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/471440/Britains-biggest-sponger-designer-bag-Cheryl-Prudham...

I think the nose hair is a filter for the smells of old age.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-43293581 Now that we have been categorised as MUS and demonised for overusing doctors (even though many of us avoid any engagement with the health service at all), is this little "Blimey that's outrageous" story a prelude to the demonisation of all the "MUS...

Best investment I ever made.

This poor woman has a whole host of problems, and is popping up everywhere: https://www.asianscientist.com/2016/07/academia/10-things-starting-medical-school/ https://sorryworks.net/blog/1130...

How nice of them to include us.
