    There just isn’t any other illness where the cut off for hospital bed, consultant oversight or any clinic review/management ends as you get very sick.

    I know you know this but where is the sense of urgency? Lives are at risk.

    Are we the only special little flowers who can’t be told we may face a life of disability? I’m pretty sure if you’re unlucky enough to get a cancer or MND or MS they let you know it’s going to affect and maybe shorten your life. Why do we have to think about other things and pretend it will...

    So the MEA gave a grant to this project. Did that grant pay Russell, the MEA employee, to work with the two NHS employees to create an assessment tool for the NHS to use? Presumably it’s all good because Tyson and Fleming have ME and therefore represent all of us with the illness. You...

    Oh wow yes that is something that’s needed. I imagine there’s similar scenarios (not necessarily health) say for example if you’re wrongly convicted, or wrongly identified as a bad person on social media or the press. There are loads of scenarios where the majority of society think you’re a...

    United Kingdom: News from BACME - British Association of Clinicians in ME/CFS

    Also humans can endure terrible neglect, abuse, pain and so on. Look at people who have been held captive in prisons, or kidnapped and chained up for decades being abused daily. Just because people can use some “mind over matter” to force themselves to get through hideous daily pain, punishing...

    An Open Letter to BACME re ME/CFS Guide to Therapy 2025

    Yes I understand “to palliate” but I’ve been around a lot of medics. I wouldn’t say it in front of a HCP treating me. I dropped anthropometric in by mistake the other day. Fortunately it went right over their head.

    But this is the thing, if I had a stroke and needed to learn to walk again, you are basically practicing walking, strengthening the muscles to bear weight, until you can walk. I can walk, so what are you rehabilitating for me? My only limitation is fatiguability caused by an illness of unknown...

    I’m no scientist or researcher or statistician etc Isn’t “it wasn’t giving a clear signal so we changed/ took out *symptoms* and *frequency* a bit “tail wagging the dog” aka you’re ditching measuring an illness symptom only because they way your measuring it isn’t saying what you want? I...

    Data. I had a hopeless interaction with the hospital this week (assisted by my advocate) as to why certain things can’t be considered - doesn’t gather data, can’t send us info on usage or effectiveness so who cares if it’s effective, it cant justify itself to the NHS so it’s not used. So stark...

    Yet again the NHS is unleashing untested, unscientific “treatments” which most closely resemble the discredited “PACE” trial specifically pointed out as harmful in NG206 NICE guidance 2021.
