    I'm tempted to go along and watch, I can't watch her online without swearing like a docker though...

    I got the gorgeous Christmas cards! And a lovely message saying they'll get posted for me tomorrow - I'm very happy now :) The market is very close to selling out but still has some lovely, lovely things, perfect for Christmas pressies. It's well worth having a look.

    PEM from too little activity?

    I had to keep an activity/symptom diary for a few weeks to work out what was causing my PEM to flare up.

    Tymes Trust - No reported harassment of staff at Bristol University

    I'm certain the riot squad was sitting in an unmarked van parked round the corner just in case they all kicked off.

    Esther Crawley talk at TEDxBristol, Thurs 2nd Bristol - "Disrupting Your View Of ME"

    Every lie she gets away with leads her to get bolder. It is a pattern that will trip her up sooner rather than later, fortunately for us.

    Esther Crawley talk at TEDxBristol, Thurs 2nd Bristol - "Disrupting Your View Of ME"

    I were particularly impressed at her astronomical self-delusion that she is doing 'The Right Thing' despite 100s of researchers and 1000s of patients telling her otherwise. If I was a psychiatrist I'd be especially interested in that story she told about her father putting her life at risk and...

    Can bacterial infections last for several decades?

    Oh @Arnie Pye I so want to give you a hug! To lose 3 babies, that's just so awful. I'd wanted to adopt, but my ex-husband wanted us to try IVF and at the time adoption agencies wouldn't consider people who'd tried IVF first. It killed our marriage. When the time came to decide what to do with...

    Can bacterial infections last for several decades?

    I remember how they made me feel like a reproductive system with a body attached, you had it so much worse than me @Arnie Pye. How many cycles did you have? I stopped at two because I felt like I was breaking, mentally and physically.

    Can bacterial infections last for several decades?

    What is it with male gynae doctors telling us our reproductive regions don't hurt? I was very lucky to have my daughter a year before my miscarriage, but I was desperate to have a second child and tried IVF in 1999. I remember a male technician giving me a vaginal scan to monitor my ovarian...

    I thought that might not be one to wear in public. Some lovely stuff in that auction, I've got my eye on a few lots.

    Can bacterial infections last for several decades?

    Hi @Arnie Pye I have abdominal adhesions and diseased fallopian tubes which cause a fair bit of pain. I had a miscarriage, followed by a DNC 25 years ago which gave me an infection - I react to metals, surgical steel included it seems. The adhesions are sticking everything to everything else...

    Esther Crawley talk at TEDxBristol, Thurs 2nd Bristol - "Disrupting Your View Of ME"

    Sorry, but do we have a link to today's Crawley talk? The earlier link posted by @Cheshire now takes you to two people improvising 'mystical sounds' for a painful eternity?

    Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy the Gold Standard for Psychotherapy?

    Like @Squeezy I find anti-depressants very helpful to mediate the reactive depression I've developed after 7+ years of this illness. I take mirtazapine now because I was thinking frequently about how nice it would be to be able to end my life, because it's boring, tiring and painful. The ME...
