There are probably lots of diseases, but I think what @Sasha might be trying to chase down is whether it applies to ME/CFS. Can you have it as a...
True, you probably have a disease. But can that disease also be asymptomatic, or minimally symptomatic, or only sporadically so?
If we get a treatment, we'll need outcomes that can handle people with really significant improvements as well as minor ones. And worsening and/or...
Yup, there are conditions that do have tests (or pathology that shows up on scans), but people's testimony about their disabling effects is still...
Maybe doesn't affect me so much because my sleep times vary so wildly anyway? I try not to schedule anything before 1pm, and it's later than that...
Absolutely blizzard of mail this morning about the changeover from ESA to state pension. Most of it was pointless, such as DWP warning me that...
Yep. And people have wasted quite enough money trying it with food supplements. Some made themselves worse; they believed there was a real effect,...
I don't notice them so much because I stick to the old morning times, until I reach the point where I realise I've adjusted. I never know what...

I'm very tired, I know I've overdone it, but I can't stop. My brain won't stop, but my body won't either. I know I need to rest, but I keep...
It's barmy, isn't it, every region has its own prices. The standing charges are so much higher in northern England than in London—this is my...
Yes, and the same goes for people on means-tested benefits and some on tax credits. It was meant as a safety device, but under the new rules it...
Yes: neither have enough NI credits for the full state pension, so if they don't have other pension provision, they qualify for Pension Credit....
These hypotheses can look interesting to begin with. By the time you've heard seven more that are equally compelling but mutually exclusive,...
The way I see it, they're not necessarily conflicting. All they seem to be indicating is shifts that can go both ways. I don't know anything...
I guess this is where a lot can depend on the assessor. I got the full 12 points for the mobility element even though I was clear that I can stand...

Separate names with a comma.
