Well played, Parry. Well played. I hope the naming and shaming continues. So many, many parallels to our own situation as PwMEs.
This is an interesting change of tack. Up till recently, the PACE authors have dismissed patient charity surveys on the grounds that they are...
Fascinating explanation, @Jonathan Edwards. I was a bit excited about this study, because it followed so closely on the heels of that recent one...
If its any comfort, the mod team do keep an eye out for people purporting to be someone they're not. All are welcome, but they should not...
I noticed that Michael Sharpe has retweeted the article. Which is quite revealing. Means he's all for reviving the anti-science death threats...
Yes, I'm also a bit tired of the "we should be congratulated for taking these people seriously" line. If claiming patients are just imagining...
This: Perfectly summarised. Its huge.
bioarxiv.org is a big thing in science at the moment. One of the key strands of the open science movement is the posting of preprints so that...

Isn't this exactly what is said about MECFS? If there was a biological abnormality beneath it, we would have found it by now? All of us here are...
The article is interesting and troubling at the same time. Sure, I agree that a lot of what is classed as depression and medicated for is just...
Prof Bishop does come across as sincere. And she seems to genuinely believe that Crawley was just testing LP out of some sort of commitment to the...
So many inferences made from fMRI data are problematic. But isn't it good to know that we are making those problematic inferences based on the...
I am very worried about the Edwards-Harrison contingent, and feel strongly that research needs to start with the periphery, and only progress to...
Very nice, simple, clear and powerful letter, @Lou Corsius. I hope it will reach the right ears.
Yes, I think you have to avoid opioids, and that includes things like codeine ( I've found panadeine to be useful when really ill, so that was a...
Update: I'm still continuing to have some better periods on cimetidine. So less days in bed, more days where I can be active. Last week, some days...
