No. At least that's not my understanding. The philosophical approach that's developed about illness since the 80s possibly. Even that's been...
From my own experience of brief bouts of childhood illness where I would be left too weak to stand and from playing seasonal sports where you have...
I expect you're right and more letters like these will pop up. The BPS brigade will want GET centres to remain open. There may well be patients...
In addition to actively encouraging and giving governments and insurance companies excuses to use to deny much needed financial and practical...
I didn't read it that way at all! :hug: I probably could have been much clearer in what I was trying to get at.
Yep I understand what you mean @Kitty, but if we compared hundreds of answers of mild, moderate, severe, newly ill, 5 years in, 25 years in and...
Sure, we know the answers in general terms. They've been known, and sadly ignored, for decades. What I'm getting at is if we could somehow...
They certainly lack humility and may well lack curiosity but I don't for one second believe these guys are stupid. In the early days, sure,...

Anything that might eventually give even a tiny improvement is worth considering. However, something they don't seem to acknowledge is that it...
Of course the irony being it favours excessive treatment by those claiming ME patients shouldn't undergo "excessive" testing to find a potentially...
Jo Daniels? Is that Jo "Shopping Bags" Daniels? I wonder if it's symbolic that the person in the photo is using a shopping trolley?
I must admit I find the concept of needing to have "heroes" or even the concept of "evidence based medicine" a bit daft. I am talking about the...
Not only is this drivel, it's derivative drivel.
To be fair - not all of them. I have had 2 really good ones. They explained to me the issues with the "normal" range. A third realizing I had a...
Who they hell is he to think he knows better than experienced medical specialists? These tin pot dictators need oversight & reining in when their...
Yep I saw that. And despaired. If ever there was a definition of cart before the horse this would be it. Endocrinologists should be completely...
