I take it they are looking for overall decline or improvement in the tests as the treatment goes on. I know my test results would be significantly better if I was given something to improve my health compared to today.

I agree with Melanie. I’ve tried all those diets and more with no benefits. What do people think of the Yorktest company tests? The intolerance tests I’ve seen before have been complete nonsense.

I agree completely. All that matters to me is finding out what causes this disease and then developing a treatment.

ME/CFS or SEID is fine for me until we work out what’s actually going on. Arguing over it plays right into sharpes hands in my opinion. He’s already using it as an excuse.

He seems really pissed off today. Someone should ask if he needs some CBT to change his negative attitudes.

This is very unfair. Esther isn’t denying it happens or how awful it is. Just that finding evidence that shows a link to PACE is difficult in those cases and that it’s easier to prove a direct link for some other things.

Still sad to see.

It’s sad to see.

Just to play devils advocate here. The question for me is did the campaigning actually change the result much? The polls I’ve seen from the years before have shown a majority in favour of changing the law anyway. The percentage of support changes depending exactly how the question is phrased but...
