I wouldn't want to see that either. I just want it to meet the basic criteria for scientific research. It will be interesting to see whether...
These percentages are really unhelpful. Disability doesn't tend to work like this. I used to be in two different groups for physical impairment....
Absolutely! But one of the really important things they've done is to avoid starting from the assumption that a physio can actually help someone...
It's particularly upsetting that in one of the cases Dr Speight describes, the hospital got around the NICE guidelines by denying the patient had...
It sounds like a good start—but one nurse, for a whole country. It's not enough for one city.
I remember reading about that when I was first diagnosed. But that epidemic wasn't really comparable to the sporadic cases of ME we see now, yet I...
I want to see ME specialist nurses trained instead of all these practitioners. Nurses can be as ill-informed, badly trained, and dismissive as...
I think it's little more than an assumption, and it might have arisen from the Royal Free studies. There were suggestions then that the people...
It's good to see that final sentence, which often gets missed out of articles.
I don't get asked about work (too old), but that's a really interesting question about faking or masking. I certainly avoid talking to people...
But if we had indulged in "hysterical projection, catastrophising, conspiracy theories, overt hostility and insults", wouldn't we edit the worst...
Lord Simon, I think, where it's a title in an individual's personal name. Unless he's named Simon of Twittingdonthorpe (or wherever), in which...
I wonder if the difference is that there aren't any treatments or drug trials, and nobody really knows how to go about delivering these services?...
I'm not sure you do. I suspect it's not for you, it's to justify the existence of a service. If it were for you, you wouldn't need a...
I think so, yes, but many people won't meet all of them exactly. There are conditions for which there aren't any specialists, for instance, but...
Thanks, @Tao Fogger, that helps a lot. It looks as if B&W hadn't picked up the most relevant part of the guideline for pwME, which is the second...
Great work, @Murph and @chillier! For anyone who doesn't know what nitrogen homeostasis is, here's a bare bones explanation I found on BBC...
Thanks, I'd forgotten all about that thread!
Comments often aren't enabled on controversial topics, specially where individuals are named. George's article will have passed legal checks, but...
I have some worries about conditions being named, to be honest. DWP assessments have always been about how impairments and disabling illnesses...
Separate names with a comma.
