Yes of course it is, better tools open up more possibilities. Doesn’t mean they will cure cancer with it. The question for me is more about who will be able to afford access to one for research.

Always good to hear new technology is making some things easier to see.

Why do they feel the need to point out that some MS patients (allegedly) find yoga helpful? What relevance does that have for our completely different condition? Sounds like the kind of thing sharpe would be rolling out on twitter. I am very grateful for everything CS does personally and I’m...

iPhone or the iPad. It’s built into the keyboard but you probably have to turn it on first which you can do by going to the settings app > general >keyboard then enable dictation toggle at the bottom. After that whenever the onscreen keyboard comes up you will have a button with a microphone...

Both Mac and iOS have decent built in speech recognition. I assume Windows and Android would too but I have no experience with those. Dragon dictate is available on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android if the built in stuff doesn’t work properly for them. Although it appears to be a subscription...

Have you tried the build in dictation in iOS?

I completely understand not being able to deal with more of this. I didn’t get a statement of reasons from the tribunal because I couldn’t take any more either. If you ever want any links in the future just send me a pm.

I had a terrible time with the transition from DLA to PIP and lost a lot of money but going from incapacity to ESA went smoothly. The system is truly awful but part of that awfulness is the uneven way they judge each case so there’s always the chance of next time being better. Obviously the...

So sorry wonko, the system is just terrible at the moment. My tribunal experience was terrible too. They graciously accepted my diagnosis of ME/CFS though which was very kind of a judge, long retired GP and ‘disability expert’. Clearly the experts in diagnosis.....

I dont criticise the idea of gender being an issue in ME/CFS research because it hurts my feelings as a man (it’s rather insulting and patronising to suggest that’s the case by the way). I criticise it because I’ve thought about it carefully, looked at evidence and come to my own conclusion. You...

I agree with you, I’ve never seen a convincing argument for gender biases being an issue with ME/CFS.

I stubbed my toe pretty badly a few weeks ago. Do you think the trauma from this somehow traveled back in time and caused me to get ME/CFS 20 odd years ago? Maybe I warped space because I kicked the sofa so hard and logically if I’ve warped space I’d have also warped time. It took days for that...

As soon as I see the word healing I just stop reading these days.

Hopefully that’s what happened. I will be awaiting the apology.

Don’t be ridiculous, my criticism of this idea and thread is the meathod of raising awareness, not raising awareness in general. I’m saying people are already challenging the science with success and that we need more of that. Let me remind you of the thread title you chose for this thread, I...

The practice according to anonymous reports with no way of verifying the truth. People are already raising awareness of how CBT and GET don’t work for CFS/ME. Some people like David Tuller are doing it exceptionally well (and many other people). The practice is already being exposed. You are...

Exactly, I’d rather question the science than the scientist.

I don’t think anyone should be ‘named and shamed’ whatever they have done, it stirs up hate and achieves nothing. I believe it’s fundamentally wrong. Secondly we already have a problem being seen by some as aggressive and towards doctors and researchers. A website doxxing and listing...

I find the idea of this thread deeply troubling. I would want no part in it and would hope s4me would have no involvement. I would have to reconsider my membership here if it did.

If only ignoring it were an option! *grumbles to himself*
