Tuller-ception!

Probably some sort of treatment. There are a lot of people claiming you can recover!

“Ere Bob, you seen that new paper just published by Chalder? Fails the Tuller test, unsurprisingly”.

If we point out the clinics aren't helping sick people, then we will remove hope! #anti recovery activism

There is a feminist concept in film known as the “Bechdel test” which asks whether a film contains two women who have a conversation with each other, that isn’t about a man. It useful because critics can say “this film fails the Bechdel test” and generally people understand the film doesn’t...

So it’s a well-enough run clinic staffed by nice people, but it does bugger all for your health/illness/treatment/condition management. Colour me suprised.

So you should read the whole survey. Seminal piece of research.

I’m just coming out with random stuff now, isn’t a lot of Canada Scottish as well?

Is there any other geographical way to slice and dice it? Counties or cities?

Genuinely wasn’t aware and that’s good to know. It also explains why some LC people are being so certain they don’t have ME/CFS and some say they have both.

I think with the Ill Health retirement it’s linked more to insurance, it’s more similar to “would a private insurer pay out in these circumstances” rather than your employer/the state/the NHS recognise you’re ill. Many people were working for the public sector so it can seem a bit unusual that...

See that’s fair, it deserves some proper investigation. It’s more deserving than the endless re-investigation of perceived personality “flaws” as a cause/cure.

Yup - scuba diving. It’s not as if he was housebound or bedridden leading up to it though. I tried Scuba in the past but wasn’t taken with it. Is there any science worth examining in the relationship of the oxygen delivery, or delivery under pressure (as you are underwater)? People are always...

You were lucky to get it, I only ever seen people get 50% for 3 years then review. Or nowt. Slightly more recent than you though, post PACE.

The levels of whataboutery when medics don’t want to deal with something or don't know enough are huge.

Yup the CAB gave me nonsensical advice which meant I had to study, and redo, and now my pip history is full of junk I had to row back from.

Ive recently located a warm swimming pool I’m going to try, I’m very much a water baby and never happier than in water. I used to find that when I got out of a pool, the gravity really hits me like I’m made of lead. Not met anyone else who has that sensation. Always took me a while to adjust...
