Livestream from Stockholm starts in a couple of minutes.

Excellent question. I don't know who. I don't know why, on what basis/merit, either. Trying to find out. Trying to compare with other expert groups from other similar evidence report projects as well, to find out if this is common.

In the attached slide we perhaps learn a bit about the expert's understanding of correlation and causation? Very rough translation: "Longterm sick leave Earlier means more dangerous Those who take early retirement due to an illness or disability at a young age (25-30 years old) run approx 7-8...

Here's a news article from 2009, about the book one of the above experts wrote. https://www.metro.se/artikel/det-kan-vara-farligt-att-vara-sjukskriven-xr (I haven't been able to find anything about their views on ME, CFS or MUS etc specifically. Except for the mention of "yuppie's disease"...

Today is the roundtable meeting in Stockholm.

Here’s a very sparse info page about the ME/CFS evidence review SBU is currently working on in Sweden. It’s part of Socialstyrelsen’s (The National Board of Health and Welfare) project to develop guidelines. https://www.sbu.se/sv/pagaende-projekt/me--myalgic-encephalomyelitis/ According to...

Yes, I'd love to sign it! She's doing such an amazing job.

If you continue reading that Twitter thread, she also writes this:

Livestreams have now been scheduled on YouTube: ME/CFS-dagarna 2018 - Stockholm ME/CFS-dagarna 2018 - Göteborg

That's fantastic, I'm very happy for you :) At my end things are very very different... For example, I've had a toothache since January this year, and I keep being denied treatment because of ME. I've filed several complaints (with the help of an anti-discrimination bureau; I'm way too sick to...

Yes, really :( I've read some early drafts from a couple of different ongoing projects (nothng from Socialstyrelsen, though), and I'm not feeling happy nor hopeful about it -- that's my personal opinion based on what I've read so far. Sadly, some very influential people are pushing hard for the...

Let's do more than just hope, let's keep doing all we can to make sure it will be all biomed, not bps. Unfortunately the Cochrane reports are very highly regarded here in Sweden -- including the one on CBT/GET -- especially in the context of evidence based treatments etc.

That's not very effective, I'm afraid. It mainly tells the algorithm what other shows and movies to recommend (or not to recommend) to you. A much more effective way to get your opinions across to Netflix would be to write them a message. One of the easiest ways to do this is to click on the...

It seems to me that CSS is one of the worst wolves in sheep's clothing at the moment, as it appears to successfully fool even many well informed pwme and patient representatives, even people who are otherwise fully aware of the problems with BPS and MUS etc. I find that very worrying. As far as...

Please do, I'd love to read it! I find your "devil's advocate comments" very interesting and helpful -- and hugely frustrating, too :) Even if maybe it doesn't end up on MEpedia, it could still be very helpful in so many other contexts. I love stuff that forces me to think about things in...
