United Kingdom: ME Association RCGP Meeting – General Practice and the new NICE guideline on ME/CFS Report on a meeting held on Thursday 16th...
"ACTIVATE adopts a primarily hands off approach to treatment aimed at motivating and educating service users to manage their condition more...
Interesting. I've had a poke around old fb posts to see further. It maybe is a more mixed picture of recent times (I found a post as far back as...
It is Cornwall I'm thinking of specifically with this because I believe that the service until very recently was seen as a very good one that was...
happy to pee money up the wall on something not in the guidelines whilst claiming they are short of both cash and staff in implementing the...
Sicko stuff really isn't it. How can conversion therapy for certain things be rightly getting outlawed and slated and yet this type of awfulness...
I don't know why those interested in mental health or psychology can't just be happy/see it as sufficient part for them to play to point out that...

Important start to flag this. So worrying (and the fact that noone really knows or notices this issue beyond ME community) that severe ME aren't...

The picture I've picked up on from this - being ME-specific here is that it is the most ill that get told 'nothing for you' and the least that can...
If it is the same one that was on the TV programme (trust me I'm a docor I think) then the phrase 'conditioned response' is something I mentally...
135day rule starts to sound even more important for charlatan-filtering. Could we come up with some catchy storytelling-style analogies for this...
Indeed, just scary that the conclusion and abstract didn't underline absolutely with the side of common sense and history in their discussion of...
Thanks for confirming re: thread. Yes, that is certainly the impression coming through. Busy-work. I'd somehow missed the "was to allow the...
