David Tuller has kindly agreed to return to Sheffield for another lecture, this time on Medically Unexplained Symptoms.
The term medically unexplained symptoms might be useful as a descriptive name for the large category of phenomena that lack a proven patho-physiological pathway, but in the medical literature, and from some who present themselves as experts in the field, it is framed as an actual diagnosis that can be delivered with full confidence rather than a provisional construct based on the current state of medical understanding.

Dr Tuller, Senior Fellow in Journalism and Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley, explains why this shaky evidence is leading to shaky practice, and the impact on patients.

JOIN US ONLINE OR BY PHONE – DO NOT COME IN PERSON.
We are now asking all attendees to please not come in person on Monday, but instead join us online or listen to the talk by phoning in using your mobile or landline. All details below.

Whilst countries across the world are taking stringent measures to protect vulnerable people from Covid-19, and numbers of confirmed cases in the UK continue to rise exponentially with many further cases going unidentified, we must now ask that people do not attend The Circle on Monday, but instead join the talk with Dr Tuller either online or using their mobile/landline.

During the Q&A you will be able to unmute yourself to ask a question, but not during the talk.

OR
You can phone in using your mobile or landline and listen to the talk.
Dial: +44 203 481 5240
It will then ask you to input the Meeting ID: 600 588 922
Followed by #.
During the Q&A you can dial the 6 key to unmute yourself, then press it again to toggle mute back on.

It is better to be muted whilst others are speaking so that we don’t hear background noise. You won’t be able to unmute yourself during David’s talk, only during the Q&A afterwards. The host will still be able to mute you again after asking your question if you do not mute yourself.

Finally the talk will also be livestreamed to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SheffieldMEandFibromyalgiaGroup/

Covid-19 is becoming a major concern and we do not know the effect it will have on people with ME or fibromyalgia; we do however know that accessing healthcare is often very challenging for those with these illnesses, therefore we must be overly cautious. The situation has escalated significantly over the weekend and many institutions are cancelling or postponing events, we feel it is only fair and safe to move this event online. Thank you for understanding and we look forward to you joining the talk online or via your phone. If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch on info@sheffieldmegroup.co.uk

Take care, Sheffield ME & Fibromyalgia Group

I was supposed to be in Bristol, England, last week at the CFS/ME Research Collaborative conference. The conference went on as scheduled, but I decided the weekend before that the situation was getting too dicey to leave home. I didn’t want to get swept up in lockdowns and international travel blockades and not be able to return to the US. Under the circumstances, it seemed wise to change my plans. (It goes without saying that I hope everyone is taking care of themselves in this incredibly stressful moment.)
