    UK: Disability benefits (UC, ESA and PIP) - news and updates 2023 (including government plans to scrap the work capability assessment)

    Yeah @think_that_it_might, as of your question above it’s gonna be otherwise. For all the reasons that have applied historically but mainly to fuck over the LC cohort. Everyone said ‘don’t worry, they’ll be more research at least now with everyone falling out of the work place, dropping like...

    Diane O'Leary, philosopher, media articles and interviews

    Thanks @Ravn. I watched the whole video. I found it immensely enjoyable. The window behind Diane’s head green leaves and soft sunlight. The framing and depth. The calm voices of her and her host carried me through. I can’t comment on the philosophy because it’s beyond me. I did agree that the...

    News from Cochrane

    I am sorry to hear this how terrifying! How is your son doing now? I’m just astounded at the hypocrisy of claims made to be saving us from harm through commitment to evidence, at the beginning.

    Long Covid in the media and social media 2023

    People with ME were claiming the predicted effects of this viruses post acute infection sickness and disability before it had had time to appear. Following SARS there was a decent percentage of survivors who didn’t recover. Post viral complications were assured for some people who lived...

    Covid-19 vaccination experiences

    Can I get Novavax in the UK People? My previous jabs wrecked me to the point I am terrified to get another one.

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    Yes. Friends in high places. But far fewer than before or Cochrane would not be in the difficulties it finds itself in now. It seems like someone in a position of authority at Cochrane must of signed off on the decision to refuse our complaint entirely, rather than going for the more...

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    Yes. They may have over played their hand here. The establishment may view us as subhuman objects to be experimented upon. But Cochrane is no longer as shiny as it used to be. This latest move looks particularly grubby.

    United Kingdom: ME Research UK (MERUK) News

    So interesting to look at the biological findings of differences the between men and women here. I was really interested by Decode MEs results, when they returned the preliminary results showing how the symptom patterns taken from averages diverged so much. I often wonder too about trans...

    Circulating Mitochondrial DNA is associated with High Levels of Fatigue in Two Independent Sarcoidosis Cohorts 2023 Fiorini et al

    I don’t have the capacity to understand this study. From first glance I wonder is it saying that circulating mtDNA does cause fatigue? Or is it still too early to say that? Also ‘psychobiologic’, does that have a variety of meanings, because I just looked it up and the definition was all about...

    UK: Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health: Perplexing Presentations (PP)/Fabricated or Induced Illness (FII) in children, 2021

    I think the trouble is most people do tend to think of themselves as empathetic, which may or may not translate into better behaviour or they think empathy has no value. But they can fake having it quite easily. Empathy is very noticeably in short supply in quite a few areas of medicine and I...

    A phenomenological study on the lived experience of men with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2023, Snell et al.

    Yes @rvallee. Every word. Sly as fuck. Oh dear we’ve been neglecting the men. Poor guy no diagnosis! Too proud and full of manliness. Here you go mate, here’s a great big steaming pile of “C.F.S” research study for you! I except you feel less neglected and overlooked now don’t you? No? Well...

    The John Snow Project - Working for better information about Covid transmission, masks etc

    Thanks @Trish. Have they done a letter to the UK health authorities as well as the CDC, I couldn’t find but maybe just because my heads spinning.

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    I don’t think that we are powerless. I think that Cochrane perceives no obligation to respond to us upon points raised. Cochrane don’t have a self interested reason to value our lives or our quality of life. They have in fact damaged our chances in this respect. But the consequences are for us...
