Oh dear. Gawd help us.

Question just asked in Parliament as a Point of Order about the positive health statement stuff. Deputy Speaker said it wasn't a Point of Order, but encouraged the MP (Marsha de Cordova) to bring it up once the Proroguation of Parliament is over, after The Queen's Speach next Monday (I think).

In my case it does make a difference... My meals are cooked and dished up by OH. If he's dishing up on a big plate I get HUGE portions (I think he's afraid I'll starve :rofl:). Sometimes I eat more of them than I should*. So I now request him to use small/smaller plates. After all, if I'm still...

:cry: So sorry for your experiences with your family - just cruel. :hug:

PS no wonder the Chalder Fatigue Scale is so carp since it was the Weasel "invented" it. :mad:

So we actually have Wessely to thank for the Chalder Fatigue Scale. Hadn't realised that before. :rolleyes: No wonder it's a pile of doo-dah (or s**t if you prefer). Chalder is a piece of work too. :mad: I went to a thing (can't think of word - there were a collection of speakers on CBT) about...

So very sad and appalled to hear this news. All we can hope for is that he wins Appeal. Will be thinking of Stig Gerdes over the next weeks and months, and sending all good wishes to him from Wales, and from Liverpool when I go home later this month. This was a travesty of justice.

Precognition is the claimed paranormal ability to predict the future – and is widely considered to be pseudoscience. Why, then, is the US psychic industry worth $2bn a year? by Amelia Tait https://www.theguardian.com/global/2019/sep/29/psychic-future-what-next-for-the-precognition-economy...

Article about inequality between men and women (yet again!) at diagnosis, recovery or death from heart attack. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/sep/30/women-are-dying-needlessly-from-heart-attacks-says-charity

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I may be laughing, but it isn't really funny. Better to laugh than cry maybe - perhaps we can laugh them out of the research room. After all most of their results are laughable.

Sorry you are having so much pain @dangermouse. Hope that the Rheumatology referral can give you some answers that can also give you some relief. A shame you have to wait 2 weeks for results of your scan. I hope that you aren't worrying too much. Sending you The Vibes and lots of hugs. :hug...

I don't get why Sharpe would re-tweet this. Surely he agrees it's a great thing that "*Anyone* can operate as a therapist, psychotherapist or counsellor in the UK". His general stance on research seems to indicate that, whereas the tweet he's re-tweeted is anti that. Tempted to make a tweet...

Umm, so the weasel is an honorary woman now? :eek:

We think of an attack as a ‘big bang’, but the symptoms can build over hours or days – and even doctors can misinterpret them https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/sep/22/would-you-recognise-a-gradual-onset-heart-attack I meant to post this sooner, but as usual Life Happened! ;) Not ME/CFS...

Ha ha ha ha! Love the Diets for the Aged!

Just to offer you good wishes and re-iterate others' hopes for help for you soon @dangermouse. :hug:

@Simbindi I think this is a really good thing to look at. I can't "like" your posts right now as I'm too knackered to read the pages you list. Maybe sometime next week I can take a look. Just wanted to commend your efforts. Best wishes from Liverpool. :)

One of the comments is from an ME patient, who was surprised the person had managed to escape a ME/CFS diagnosis.

Urm there isn't a puke emoji here. Sorry, I should make a more together post but right now all I can say is this prize makes me want to VOMIT. Puke. Sick. And so on. I'm an angry old lady.
