Thank you, @forestglip!

I'm dopy at present but trying to understand things - what are autoAbs?

All the authors/participants are psychiatrists.

That's CBD - cannabidiol. Is it the same in Swiss German? (or French?)

Well, I've used cannabis for more than 50 years and have never had a heart problem! It aids sleep, boosts appetite, and reduces pain. I don't use tobacco, which causes a lot of problems, including cancer (which killed my mother).

Er, what's PPI? A quick search gives 'payment protection insurance' or 'Proton pump inhibitors'!

I realise that it may not be connected, but it didn't appear until I had ME/CFS, ditto the swellings behind my knees.

Whitney has put on weight! I regret that I won't be donating anything to Ron's research as it uses animals. This is not only cruel but almost always gives misleading results. I also find the message puzzling as it refers to bacteria as animals!

What then is the swelling I have under my chin, which at the beginning came and went but is now permanent? My weight is normal but the swelling is very obvious. Sometimes there is hardness on both sides.

Merged thread My GP told me to get moving after I was paralysed ('FND') https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgxd88lgy4o "A man who was left unable to walk or talk by a neurological disorder has called for greater understanding of his condition after he was told to "get moving" by a GP...

Just a couple of points, with the same underlying reason: "3. Patient reports should be published unfiltered as supplementary information on any paper derived from studies they participated in, submitted pre-intervention, post-intervention, and in response to the paper itself 4. Harms should...

It is also cruel as well as pointless.

Well, as someone who can't hoover properly nowadays, and who gets a neighbour in to do it (paid) I thought that it was time to get a robot cleaner. I've bought a Beko Robot Cleaner VRR60314VW, which is well regarded here...

I think that the abbreviation is UCB, rather than UBC? Standing for umbilical cord blood.

Well, I've had a quickish look for what Derriford say, and am not impressed. Derriford Hospital says on https://www.plymouthhospitals.nhs.uk/download/w22foi408-nice-guidelines-ng206-on-myalgic-encephalomyelitis-chronic-fatigue-syndromepdf.pdf?ver=22330 in reply to a Freedom of Information Act...

It's titled 'Trail by Error'!

I thought that it was fairly good, apart from a few small errors, e.g. "4.7.2...The Community-based ME/CSF Service" I wonder whether Plymouth (Derriford Hospital) has anything similar - it's where I have been sent a few times, and where apart from one nurse no one seemed to be familiar with...
