My understanding is that ME is not necessarily degenerative, but fluctuating.

Thanks, I knew there'd be a rational explanation.

I am transported, but can't help wondering why anyone would light a fire on such a beautiful summer's afternoon. I would take it as a sign that something's amiss and needs investigating.

Nice job @Robert 1973 :emoji_musical_score:

@Jonathan Edwards your opinion, as ever, would be interesting.

That'll be me. When I was a university student, in the law library toilet someone had written on the toilet paper dispenser "Sociology degrees, please take one". After three years of wiping my arse on sociology degrees (I've since switched to the Guardian), I tried to give it a second chance...

Oh my goodness, the thread they must be referring to is this: http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/the-medical-medium-what%E2%80%99s-potentially-at-the-root-of-medical-mysteries-ebv.41377/ From November 2015, in which I made the second post! The advert was copied into the 11th post...

Oooooooooooooooh! I'm starting to lose track and I don't know what Inception is.

I really hope this is just spin and bullshit to allow some face-saving, dressing up the fact that they've finally done the right thing and told Crawley where to shove it, in the best possible light.

Me too. I'm glad I used to give courses on Time and Self-Management before I got ill, it gave me the skills to make the best use of my time with ME, in particular defining tasks and breaking them down, then categorising them according to energy available, long before I actually get down to doing...

I wasn't saying that you were saying that I had said any of those things, I was simply saying that I hadn't said any of the things contained in your explanation of why it was that your comments on this issue had been consistent, without assuming that your comments were in response to things you...

I've never said that EC has not been harassed. I couldn't possibly know that. But in the absence of evidence I have no reason to believe it, and I shan't. It would be the easiest thing in the world for EC to back up her claims, but she never has. Never said that. Never said that. I'm not...

Am I still allowed to use the Guardian to wipe my arse with? And anyone hoping for a steamy encounter with Gwyneth Paltrow should be careful what they wish for.

Sorry if that comes across as a bit rude, but people choosing to believe something for which there is no evidence and acting on the basis of it is one of the biggest problems we face. I will continue to call out Fingers Crawley every time and swear whilst doing so.

First of all there has to be evidence that harassment has taken place. EC hasn't produced any, and until she does there is no reason to believe her. "It wouldn't surprise me" doesn't come anywhere near the standard of proof required. And until there is some evidence, there's nothing to defend...

Apart from the bucks we are paying them of course. They keep those.

Unfortunately we only seem to have a sample size of one at the moment: So I agree that with such a small sample size it's hard to say anything conclusive. We need more data. Perhaps the MEA should have a poll - "are you a transgender rabbi?" they can get 15,000 responses to their polls so a...

Yes I wasn't expecting it to be that good given the title. Also wasn't expecting to learn that ME makes me more of an outsider than a transgender rabbi.

In a remarkable turnaround, therapists will then have to encourage patients to focus on the negative.

Haven't listened to this myself yet, but it looks interesting and is in my queue of podcasts to listen to while I drive to work: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3csv1bv
