    Opinion Chronic fatigue syndromes: real illnesses that people can recover from, 2023, The Oslo Chronic Fatigue Consortium

    "a gradual and controlled approach to increasing activity is crucial for rehabilitation". There is nothing controlled or gradual about how you are supposed to behave after LP. The 2 approaches are diametrically different, you basically can't support/suggest both! GET proponents claim that...

    Information leaflet on ME/CFS and children/young people either for patients or for doctors?

    Thanks. It's on Windows. I don't have a Adobe licence. I was printing to PDF. I have now done as you suggested and simply saved as PDF (see attached) though there are still seems to be a loss of quality compared to the Word document. Thanks for the suggestion about a QR code: I had already...

    Anyone know of any stories of people with Long Covid who were made worse by the Lightning Process, Gupta or similar?

    The focus of their piece is long Covid. I think they would like to quote or ideally interview people with Long Covid. ETA: I have passed it on now (the link did occur to me earlier this afternoon but I had an excuse to write to her again just now).

    Anyone know of any stories of people with Long Covid who were made worse by the Lightning Process, Gupta or similar?

    This journalist has also now told me they would be interested in hearing of people with #LongCovid made worse by other programs that are somewhat similar e.g. Gupta. I talked to them for 20 minutes yesterday. An interesting & important project

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    I plugged the petition on my social media channels (Twitter, Mastodon, Instagram, Facebook & Tumblr) yesterday. Nothing particularly remarkable about that but a little curiosity is that somebody has just Blazed it on Tumblr (see image, I've hidden their username)...

    Information leaflet on ME/CFS and children/young people either for patients or for doctors?

    Thanks. I will think about removing the “excellent”: there still is time. You may be right. I suppose including the extract implicitly means we are recommending it/think it’s good.

    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    I've done lots of sharing of DecodeME to groups on Facebook. I thought I would try out a different tactic by tagging people and encouraging people to tag others. Unfortunately it hasn't really taken off in terms of tagging others. My post is here (currently with 15 shares) and another...

    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    Good article in terms of explaining the importance of the study and the need for more samples: Ms Chowdhury added: “We hope to better understand the biological root causes of ME – that’s a starting point and not an end point. But the more data we have about the genetics, the easier it’s going...

    Information leaflet on ME/CFS and children/young people either for patients or for doctors?

    I think you're the winner. I did get a number of suggestions elsewhere, mainly in reply to my Facebook post: But I think I will go it yours. I have wanted to send out the whole primer but that is very expensive. The only other option that would keep within our budget would be to do half or...

    Closed UK: DecodeME updates, was recruitment thread.

    I went round Facebook and shared the deadline to dozens of groups today. Unfortunately you only reach a small percentage of members of groups with this method. Maybe 5% (?) which might reach 10% or more if posts get some likes and particularly if they get some comments. So feel free to do either...
