Something about sunbeds actually.

Thanks. To be honest, the woman next to me did it just as quickly. She started to stand up, so I jumped up and barged her out of the way to hand my paper in first. I would have been devastated if she'd beaten me.

You can count me. I will be German soon. Brexit and all that. Passed my language test with 96%, passed my citizenship with 100% and broke the record at the test centre. For the citizenship test we had 2 hours, but it was on a Saturday afternoon and the examiner, wearing a Hoffenheim scarf and...

They are a very mixed bunch, and just making it to the meeting is too much for some of them. A couple of them have been to fatigatio conferences. Here's a bit of local activism when a father decided to get up and do something...

Here's a link to my blog: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/my-trip-to-the-charite-in-berlin.44474/ List of all parts of the blog is on page 4 of that thread.

They say it's completely shit. Some of them are unable to work and have finally decided to stop fighting and accepted a diagnosis of depression and been on a rehab (Kur) just to get half a pension. The woman from the film "In Engen Grenzen" is in my group, the Kur nearly killed her. There's the...

It actually backfired horrendously and resulted in the Robert Koch institute report.

I'll translate anything you write into English for you.

DEGAM werden sich wohl was gedacht haben.

Nothing to see here, move along. I will resign from fatigatio, as mentioned on the other thread about this. Fortunately I am not currently affected by this because I am in hiding from the health authorities, don't claim anything and never go to my doctor. It's like hiding from the Spanish...

By the way, for our English-speaking readers, "zum Fremdschämen" means to be embarassed on someone else's behalf, like when your husband farts in company or something. The head of Fatigatio has just behaved in an equivalent manner.

I am way behind on my forum reading, and have only just seen this. I too must face the sad realisation that I am the German equivalent of an AfME member. My main contact with other sufferers is this forum (S4ME). In Germany Fatigatio was the first society I found, so I joined it. I go to their...

This is interesting. I'm sure it couldn't possibly be because it will be easier to dismiss the views of a lay member speaking on their own behalf than those of a patient representative speaking on behalf of a group. Now that we have lay members, where are the patient representatives supposed to...

I've been keeping one for about 2 years, I still fill it in every day out of habit. Really easy and simple. It has helped me to define a rank order of activities and how long I can safely spend on each one (shopping, kitchen work, playing music, and walking are things I don't do at all any more...

I think this is an excellent document for new patients in the mild category who haven't made themselves much worse yet by not knowing how to pace. The document refers to tracking HR twice, and also recommends support groups, educational literature and going on the internet, where those...

Damn. I was looking forward to seeing @Valentijn on the red carpet in a posh frock :(

Couldn't help being reminded of someone when I read this.

I never thought the depths a member of the BPS brigade could stoop to would leave me speechless. Congratulations Mr Vogt, you've done it. I have absolutely nothing to say.

I once met a young female bricklayer who was told by a colleague "You've got my son's job". I didn't realise people made the same kind of comment at Uni, I assumed it was just bricklayers, so might I take the opportunity to publicly apologize to any bricklayers reading for my unwarranted and...
