These acronyms are getting worse and worse.

Yeah I got the email too

And this reply:

@Ariel How old are you? It seems that side effects from the AZ vaccine are more common in younger people.

The problem with this is that, when somebody with Very Severe ME (or even just Severe) is bring abused, they can't just be taken to a refuge. Sadly I have seen a lot of this in severe ME groups. People stay with partners/relatives who are abusing them, because moving out would be worse for their...

Brilliant, great job Luna.

I heard that astra zeneca side effects are more common in younger people.

Vitriol is natural coming from people who have been treated very badly.

Fucks sake

Dad has suggested I buy ones with an adjustable headband. So I've bought some of those and we'll see how that goes.

Merged thread Problem: ear defenders make my jaw hurt, due to the pressure that they exert on the sides of the head. I think the issue would be solved if I could have two separate pieces which somehow affix one to each ear. Because it's the connection between them which exerts pressure on the...

Of course, if it doesn't work for some people, that's not their fault (just as it's not somebody's fault if a medication doesn't help their health condition). Probably means that either it's not the right approach for them, or the therapist isn't good enough.

But, the results of this study are interesting. I'm surprised to read that efficacy was strongly linked to researcher allegiance, because I've never encountered a person with OCD saying that ERP with a good therapist didn't help them (and I have been around the block quite a bit online with...

You're not alone. A friend of mine, who had ME since age of 10, also developed OCD a couple of years later (which she says was started by fears about her ME). I think developing ME is exactly the sort of terrifying life event which can lead to some people developing OCD (though doubtless there's...

If you want antifungals, I think you'd be much safer with ones which don't have psychiatric effects.

This is also so true.

God yes. And I always hated exercise at school because my co-ordination is SO BAD, so I was terrible at ball sports, and everything really. And so many PE teachers that I had were nasty really. One used to keep throwing balls at me at random moments FFS. After compulsory PE was over, I...

Well tbh, I wouldn't expect GET to help with depression or work-stress either. CBT maybe, but not the sort of CBT used in the PACE trial.

In other news, antifungals are not effective for sprained ankles. :whistle:

Just because it's not the reason that you stay up late, doesn't mean it's not a thing. It resonates for quite a number of people. To be honest a lot of the people who it resonates with already knew that it was why we did this, we just didn't know that we weren't the only one doing it for this...
