    Suggesting an additional advocacy direction

    Agree & think a positive story about new research fields opening up would gain traction & interest: lots to learn through studying ME that would open lots of doors. Also new tech to explore & data angles. Good to cover lots of different angles. I do think Ron Davis, though US, is powerful...

    Trying Again. What First? D-Ribose? BCAA's?

    I recently read that Dr Bansal recommended patients use B12 patches and gave Vie patches a go, which have B vits and D3 too and do think they have helped. Anecdotal, but have been doing a bit better & think they helped me shift an summer virus, when previous one have hit me hard & long.

    Audio distraction: podcasts, audio books, radio on demand

    Like lots of those already mentioned - but didn’t spot the Podcast ‘Fortunately’: Jane Garvey, Fi Glover and guests. Is a rather riotous, informal chat. Great fun & kind of feel like you’re joining them at the Broadcasting House café. Radio 4 podcast, available free on iTunes etc.

    Podcast: TWiV Special: David Tuller is PACEman

    Listening. Love the idea of exploring how the PACE authors use the English language - certainly seem to be adept at stretching words & definitions to fit. Thank you @dave30th

    Briefing paper for parliamentary debate.

    I have long thought that CBT should be given for behaviour and beliefs that lead to injury and so incur expensive medical costs. So ppl who ski or drive & take unnecessary risks should have CBT to adjust their thinking and ensure their health or that of others doesn’t suffer as consequence of...

    Briefing paper for parliamentary debate.

    I think it is so good to have had the very successful Invest In ME Conference last week & then the separate political track taking one small step forward today. Progress on all fronts is needed and to be celebrated. So few, achieving so much with very limited resources. Edited: process...

    Merryn Crofts - media and inquest

    Sadly when introduced by the Newsreader in the 5.30pm News, said Merryn had been severely ill for 6 days, not years. Sadly, think was a misread of the script - or even thought must be a typo. Still, was important to have such a strong and personal piece on air, though wish this had never...
