But when you consider the amount paid to those in ESA & PIP and what claimants have to go through when being assessed it's a huge sum. I'm sure the ME biobank could make good use of it.

It's a bit unfortunate that there have been a few fundraising campaigns so close together. If they were spread out a bit more then I could manage to give a bit more. All such important causes!

Well, all I can say is when I try probiotics I end up doubled over with abdominal paim. Not for me, thanks!

I've just bought it too. Will read when I can.

Proof it's the BPS mob driving researchers out of the field (or this country at least) and not patients.

I have to admit I'm worried. Have AfME raised or publicised any of this on their forums or social media? It seems they're very quick to get any media attention going, so why be so quiet about this? This has the potential to cause as much, if not more, harms than the PACE trial. Even if I...

This is what makes me wonder: there is a huge demand for more services and better treatments and care for people with serious mental health issues. There is a huge amount of good that could be done instead of poaching illnesses from other disciplines, purely (or so it often seems) to inflict the...

Angela Kennedy is a sociologist. I believe her daughter has ME. Here's a review of her book "Authors of Our Own Misfortune" : http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2013/06/11/book-review-authors-of-our-own-misfortune/ Edited to add tag @Binkie4

I see the little info video clip in the article claims most people get better over time.

I'm viewing it as alarming, until there is solid evidence to the contrary.

That is exactly why I thought it in such poor taste. How can anybody, let alone people who are supposed to have an understanding of and treat mental health conditions, think that is in any way clever or amusing? Those poor souls suffered dreadfully. Then they were tortured and abused by way of...

Good to see you here @Emsho. Great work on the video & campaign :thumbup:

I'm really hoping you're keeping that notebook under lock and key @Jonathan Edwards! It sounds too valuable to lose!

I think Dr Hutchinson and team at the University of Leicester have been researching spatial vision.

Of course we're all aware of the stigma and lack of treatment for the more disabling conditions, but the type of attitudes discussed also have huge financial implications for women. I mean the luckier ones who manage to carry on having some sort of life. There will be so many cases where women...

Is it just me or is choosing the name "Bedlam" in extraordinarily poor taste?

I'll be with you all in spirit. I hope it all goes well. Please pass my thanks to your choir @Liv aka Mrs Sowester. An event like this takes a lot of work. Thank you! :) :party:

Perhaps, he is just so used to being around those who hold the same views and beliefs he has become arrogant enough to think that everyone else will just believe what he says?
