Mandatory reconsiderations nearly always get turned down but you stand a much better chance of a fair hearing at tribunal. Certainly look for any welfare advice groups in your area but if you don’t have any or they are too busy to help then benefits and work are excellent. There’s also a very...

I agree with others. You deal with people like this by ignoring them, they want a reaction.

I just roll my eyes now when I hear or read the word mindfulness

Agree completely, angry social media activism on any issue does my head in.

I’m on sertraline for mental health issues and while it helps a lot with that they have no effect on my ME/CFS.

100% agree.

Interesting!

Deepl.com can’t do whole web page translations but is very good for translating stuff. Their translation of this seems to read better for me but my biology knowledge is minimal so I don’t know if it provides any more information than the google translate version.

Personally I think doing to much would cause more harm than good and that finding a biomarker will be what fully turns the tide. Every bit of misleading information they publish should be challenged but going in too hard just reinforces the troublesome patient narrative.

Same here but every day life with ME/CFS being utterly miserable and seeing if things are improving research wise and politically are two separate things in my opinion.

Any progress is a good thing, it’s easy to get bogged down in the problems and forget the small victories.

Interesting stuff, I hope they can get funding for a larger sample.

I’d be tempted to do some art for this but I’m not comfortable with handing anything over to the OMF like that. Plus I wouldn’t be cheering anyone up with what I’d be painting.......

I’ve heard there’s a water filter type machine that passes water through a cartridge of mineral rocks so I think they have beaten you to it

That would be far better than any inspirational nonsense in my opinion. It’s the reality of ME/CFS.

I think hair testing has been shown to be useless.

It’s the mirror so it’s always a joke

My position is that we don’t have enough evidence either way to say mental illness is always psychological or always biological and to say one way or the other is an expression of your own biases. I suspect some mental health conditions will be caused by purely biological factors and some will...

CBT does nothing for my brain fog but helps my anxiety and OCD immensely, that’s my reasoning. I find it far weirder that you are so militantly against anything being psychological than people thinking different symptoms can be from different causes.

This still seems unlikely?
