Thanks! In that case do you think it’s more a case that they got at least reasonable (although as you say we don’t know what proportion) numbers of subjects who were super invested in this ideology and even then the study fell short of the positive results that this ideology had primed both...

That’s an interesting question @Woozy. I don’t know if ME causes those symptoms or not. If it does it would be a less common symptom pattern. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t cause these symptoms, or couldn’t cause them. Everybody is different and has different responses and susceptibility and...

I favour this explanation. Though I haven’t read this study so perhaps it wasn’t the case there. I can imagine patients talking and thinking about their illnesses a bit differently to how we generally do in my country. But still I cant imagine the researchers being fully honest with their...

Yes, absolutely. I realise I sounded like I didn’t like this particular awareness campaign. Apologies I didn’t explain myself well. It’s not the case, I love the visual splash. I have a background fear and distrust of ‘awareness raising’ in general without it being based on specific demands...

They are but mostly just for perfume advertising at Christmas.

If I understood your question correctly, and this is about the bill boards still, I don’t know what the groups funding these specifically want to achieve with this advertising campaign. So I can’t give a specific answer as they might want something I don’t know about. I assume that they want to...

I think patients are more than welcome to do whatever advocacy they want and how they want. But the bigger the group and the more people/money is involved the more responsibility to make sure that they are being properly strategic. Also not having negative effects on other communities or patient...

It can be very hard, harmed lied about, harmed stone walled, harmed lied to, and on and on. This show of international solidarity means so much. Thank you to all of you out there!

I can’t see Twitter which hospital/s mentioned?

I thought it was given to treat those viruses?

I think it’s dangerous to raise awareness if you’re not going to direct that awareness in a constructive direction.

Thank you @SNT Gatchaman

What’s fema?

Yeah I most of the time I don’t know about studies till they’re finished or abandoned! Also I do hear about interesting studies that aren’t in my country or area. I bet there are many people close enough who would also really like to participate but don’t even hear about it. We really need a...

Yeah…It’s exhausting isn’t @rvallee? Although, I don’t think it’s human nature so much as the nature of a certain specific type of human. Those that through violence of one variety or another other, have got to the top. A few who now subject the rest of us to the physical fall out of their...

Horrific.

Oh wow was not expecting that @Mij! Had just been thinking where can I get some. Perhaps a little more caution is required. How long did it take you to recover from taking this drug?

Good news!

Yeah, I don’t think anyone even in that crew was saying having ME was like having Polio. I do think the hypothesis was surrounded by eugenicist anti-vax ideology, like okay Polio vax stopped Polio proper, but it weakened the population and now we are all feeble and ME ridden.

In terms of meeting a romantic partner and starting a relationship that could spontaneously happen any day depending on who you meet their interest and your receptivity. Maybe you have a particular person in mind and as I write this have already begun a relationship. Learning how to have good...
