I do remember flicking through it a couple of years ago and it being as dreadful as expected. I had bought it in the early days at huge discount in "Naff Books are Us " or similar, I probably still have it somewhere.. (Not saying that I am anti discount bookstores)

This is because it features on the "Reading Books well on Prescription" list: https://napc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Reading-well.pdf P14 Appendix 1 under Chronic Fatigue, alongside a Sharpie et al special!

This is great to share with interested frinds and family

Thanks for this @spangle and welcome to the Forum. Interesting at about 46 mins that the speaker comments that the Andrew Wakefield paper was withdrawn due to fraud in the research, rather than just scientific uncertainty. I agree that the academic at 49 mins speaks very well re the...

Presumably, getting it printed in the Journal of Affective Disorders aligns with the King's College view that CFS is a mood disorder.... "blogs.plos.org Affective disorders are a set of psychiatric disorders, also called mood disorders. The main types of affective disorders are depression...

Thank you @Action for M.E.

I use an old office chair for dishwasher loading/emptying and if I need to stir things on hob. Also when putting away online food order. My kitchen is open plan with dining room. All my veg chopping etc is done in their. Appreciate that this would be too bulky for many kitchens andprobably too...

Surely they would assume that this small band of militant activists who do nasty things like FOI requests and say mean things to/about psychiatrists would be in close communication though.

My daughter developed ME after viral labyrinthitis. The specific symptoms of dizziness/nausea etc went after 4-6 weeks, but she never recovered from the post-viral fatigue! Interestingly, @Forbin, about a year later she was tested for ASO (Anti Streptolysin O - a measure of ongoing strep...

or the monthly salary and the respect of doing a good (paid) job etc

My daughters limits have not widened. I wonder if this can occur when people who have been trying told to "push through" by themselves/friends/physios or whoever, are given permission to slow down, rest and NOT overdo it. Then, they MAY gradually improve a bit and do more. Could this be why...

I don't know about 'old wine in new bottles'; I think it's been pretty well corked. To me it has definitely turned to vinegar.

This trial and it's subsequent expanded write-up as a "Health Technology Assessment" seems to be a very significant lead up to PACE. I'm assuming that the "technology" used is the psych stuff of CBT and GET.

Thanks, yes I meant Pete, have changed above

It is also Psych speak for those with depression, low motivation...

The MEAction survey shows results for the individual clinics. The Bristol Service for adults had one of the largest responses (alongside Sheffield)...

Pete Gladwell was the physio involved in the dreadful pre PACE Hazel O'Dowd trial https://www.s4me.info/threads/a-trial-of-me-elizabeths-story-meaction-article-november-2019.12494/#post-220439 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17014748 ETA Pete, not Philip

I totally agree @Denise. When a youngster cannot remember how to do the A-level Maths that she had known inside out a couple of months earlier and her tutor says "If I was meeting her now I would recommend doing BTechs not A-level Maths", there is clearly something seriously wrong. However I...

It sounds about as dreadful as I feared .... Yet they wonder why people are wary of them as a charity. I do wish they would stop the "boom and bust" mantra. I don't know anyone with ME who can "boom"

As I understand it, she is hoping that the GMC will investigate the PACE authors, re their flawed research. Sadly the number of MPs supporting her actions has reduced significantly since the election.
