I got into a bit of a mess a few years ago after straining both back and neck. I have deterioration in both. I was hunched up badly and getting back spasms and had knotted muscles. I saw NHS physios who were good but not really resolving it. Went to see private physio and he was really good. He...

Snowy had to quote tweet Garner because: Who can reply? Accounts @PaulGarnerWoof follows or mentioned can reply Which may also explain why he didn't tag AfME in his tweets: they would then have been allowed to reply.

Charity changes position after data released and reanalysed. Investigators change original protocol after themselves working in clinics and meeting others who had done so and after all the data had been collected. Which ones are allowing their ideological bias to trump their respect for science?

Interesting, thanks. I do vaguely remember reading something more recently about how there was now a way in some victims of CTE to see some evidence. Perhaps that was it.

Worth noting I think in the context of Garner's tweets that the change in position occurs in 2018, only after the data have been released and after the work using that data by Kindlon, Wilshire et al.

As a former rugby player and still a fan, sport-related CTE is something I've followed closely. There have been a number of similar awful events. I think I've mentioned that many of my ME symptoms overlap (not suggesting I have CTE, rather that the ME has done something to my brain). I've...

AfME were in the mix, though. They were part of the trial and supported it to begin with. They set out a position statement in 2018. https://www.s4me.info/threads/action-for-me-the-pace-trial-and-behavioural-treatments-for-m-e-position-statement.5532/

Beyond me, especially in my current state. Just saying that I'm pretty sure there is more than one 'ME'. I don't think this applies to me. I've always been convinced that I have something like an encephalitic illness. I would say it's something like: nasty (particularly URT) virus + exercise...

I think something like this may be what I was thinking about @Jonathan Edwards. ME/CFS was included under mental health research, which I accept is not saying that it's 'psychological', especially as schizophrenia is included. It's not entirely neutral either.

Others are right that one of the ways they damaged us (and science) is in their selection of experts. Apologies for the self-promotion but I did a blog post on this which may (or may not, of course) be of interest. https://johnthejack.com/2017/10/20/a-response-to-fiona-fox/

I'm not sure that's true. Someone else may be able to come up with the exact words used, perhaps, but I remember they classified ME as a psychological illness. This is a bit vague as it's just from memory, but they grouped illnesses under certain categories and had psychological and...

And thank you for doing that. I'd hit the wall by that time yesterday evening.

I've generated a transcript, though not edited it. Note text is not properly formatted so very long paragraphs.

There's a whole long controversial and murky history to Wessely's Wikipedia page. It's very tightly controlled and it's very difficult to get anything past the editors, who are all of course completely unbiased and not at all taken in by the 'ME activists' myth.
