    Merryn Crofts - media and inquest

    This is so important. Happy and sad. (Thank you @Lisa108 for the link - I wanted to save it, and I couldn't on Facebook.)

    Chronic pain often has no physical cause. Psychotherapy can reduce the suffering.

    Thank you, and @Alvin. This feels so very good right now, you don't know how good and important that was for me right now. It is so cruel that pain is often so easily dismissed.

    Anti-convulsants - Pregabalin and Gabapentin

    I think something is the matter with the nerves (well, surprise surprise with ME), at least in this leg. And the ENG was this "last drop". I also believe that this neuropathic pain would have come some day, but maybe not before 5 or 10 years. My cool GP isn't. His opinion was, "psychosomatic"...

    Anti-convulsants - Pregabalin and Gabapentin

    Thank you, @Anna! :angel: I have tried CBD oil. What dose do you take? I will try again and "play" with the amount. I didn't take Pregabalin yesterday (again, experimenting), and it seems the pain is returning, but today very low. Today I feel wired, although I didn't sleep well. It's not a...

    Mental health awareness week includes neurological conditions?

    I agree with you. But I also think that a friendlier work climate and less harmful stress would be positive for everyone.

    Yes. I can't remember a poster :( And I fear it's too much to look it up. But maybe there's an index. I'll have a look.

    Anti-convulsants - Pregabalin and Gabapentin

    Ah, I forgot I thought that when I heard "against high blood pressure". Especially at night my blood pressure is normally low. Yeah, discussing it with a doc... :bored: see above. I'm gonna talk with another doctor about it in some weeks. Let's see.

    World ME Alliance, was previously IAFME: International Alliance for ME

    The question also is: Which of these organizations has members that they represent? So can these organizations trully say they represent people with ME? E.g. Lost Voices Stiftung - which is doing good work - doesn't offer a membership if I understand their homepage correctly. So strictly, they...

    Sweden stands up for open access – cancels agreement with Elsevier

    That's maybe the long-time plan of university based data archiving? Or it could be.

    Anti-convulsants - Pregabalin and Gabapentin

    Thank you @adambeyoncelowe for all the information! I will look at it. It's all very helpful. Also thank you very much @Helen for your hint with choline. Spontaneously I thought "Wait, there was something" - and I recalled my allergy-like (or whatever) reactions to Progestan. One of the...

    Anti-convulsants - Pregabalin and Gabapentin

    Thank you @Helen, I will look into that. Is choline unproblematic with our ME issues? Or with MCAS or muscle problems?

    Sweden stands up for open access – cancels agreement with Elsevier

    Interesting. Personally, I like the OpenAccess idea. But this means Swedish universities have no access to Elsevier starting with July. Hm...

    Anti-convulsants - Pregabalin and Gabapentin

    My GP won't prescribe Clonidine because it would be an off-label use :( so I'm trying 25mg of Pregabalin right now. I'll probably won't take it for long. The pain is indeed gone. But today I have headaches instead (don't know if it's PEM though...or both...).

    Free nasal microbiome test/study at uBiome

    Exactly the same here. I wrote them 1 or 2 months ago. They said that these "special offers" who were part of a study will take longer. They would work on the probes as possible, in between the officially sold kits. So I'm expecting a LONG time.

    BBC: Chronic fatigue syndrome treatment 'should be withdrawn'

    Or differently said - as two people working in the psychology field once said: We can't release our raw data because people will see we're cheating and manipulating.
