    Researcher Interactions Patient Representative Reports from Dr Karl Morten's collaborative group, Oxford, UK

    This is total mince . ( Scottish term akin to being utter rubbish) ETA the funding being turned down, not the research. I think this just evidences @Jonathan Edwards comments re MRC.

    Status of CFS/ME (2019) Brinth et al Danish Medical Journal (Ugeskriftet.dk)

    Subsets would only be relevent if they could be identified pre exercise. It never ceases to amaze me that If the starting point is to " first do no harm" , if you cannot identify who will be harmed, how is any " treatment" ethical. This is not a bit of extra muscle ache!

    W What constitutes a full neurological examination. Our diagnosis ( default CFS) was by paediatrician - i can' anythingt recall remotely neurological in her examination Eta read post explaining. Don' t think as full an exam.as suggested was done. Deteriorated since then anyway.

    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    For many getting any kind of referral from a GP is difficult. That alone may skew things. If it is not something that has an association then who will look for it?

    The Timeline of Post Exertional Malaise in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2018, Nielsen, Hodges

    I do wonder, though perhaps ethically difficult, if actimetry and some form of video would work . Video would capture any modification of " normal" For example my daughter' s posture changes during/ after PEM. Her muscles and tendons tighten which increases pain so her positioning/ stance...

    Michael Sharpe: Mind, Medicine and Morals: A Tale of Two Illnesses (2019) BMJ blog - and published responses

    Given the impact of this research can anyone bring it to the attention of biomedical/ exercise specialists for comment. Perhaps thus weeks conference is an opportunity. This is really dangerous . Too many children have not recovered from similar rehabilitation.
