Hi all, my talk on PACE ran yesterday (Fri March 26) at Vic Uni, to a packed audience (well, it was a small room..). Will post a link to the...
Hi all, for anyone around the Wellington region who has the spoons to travel to Vic Uni, and listen to an hour-long talk, I though I'd let you...
It seems to be the same merry dance I mentioned in relation to the Tesio quote above. They are tripping over themselves to avoid saying "organic"...
Thanks for alerting me to this. Its taken me ages to post about it, because every time I tried to wade through this word stew, I lost heart, and...

Great reference @Grigor. Thanks so much for sending it my way!
@rvallee, I agree with all of what you say. I've had some direct encounters with the UK proponents of the psychosocial model of MECFS, and I know...
Although this goes beyond the experience of the fatigue itself, its hugely important, and shows how our use of symptom checklists for diagnosing...
PS @Sly Saint, I just read your post about heaviness. I think this is qualitatively different from what people with severe depression report,...
