Probably - and I certainly agree with it being incredibly problematic that you have so many wanting to lump the acute with the chronic without at least giving them different 'markers' when comparing (which just feels all like the cfs, mus, lowest common denominator then claiming 'ooh there is no...

https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/glandular-fever#complications-of-glandular-fever I've linked to the complications page first, but the rest of its is here: https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/glandular-fever...

Well that is what it is there for isn't it - change your attitude therapy to remove people out of GPs hair? I'm not sure it's the proportion you think. Once it's bought by the CCG (I know these have changed) and becomes a pathway and you've a job monitored to follow-the-required-action in a...

Just so sad people are still making a living out of this sort of thing. Off the shelf obvious stuff, stick a few numbers in boxes for measures that don't really matter and payday. Even if it worked or had use that paper really changes nothing, it's just figures put in for political reasons...

They won’t take money out of services that refuse to offer anything other than harmful outdated CBT and GET that has no use (so I guess no one turned up who wasn’t under pressure from elsewhere?). IAPT MUS had a fortune thrown at it. To pretend this is ONLY about money us ingenuine or deluded...

I horribly think that they do. It seems contrived of what they can 'get away with doing' that would obviously put someone's heart rate through the roof on a condition - and aren't allowed to do such vile tricks to any other type of patient, as it would seem only culture issues let this piece of...

They also fail to note that conditioning requires quite a lot of closely repeated occurences of the 'nasty outcome' immediately following the stimulus. So it can't have been Pavlovian from numerous tilt tables - as noone would be signed off to do them daily just for safety reasons (as well as...

I think the tasks where you use dolls and e.g. put a wall in the way and ask the person to state what one did and what the other person 'saw' (because they couldn't see the right hand of the scene is the sort of foundation stuff in trying to do empathy. Theory of mind (box on left hand side...

Well now I know the context yes it is even more concerning. Not far off the Wessely (I think it was) throwing the kid in the swimming pool incident. Which of course is a basic analogy for disability bigotry. Whether said kid sank or swam proved nothing but I bet being able to do so became a...

Glad you addressed this. Wind-up merchant idiot man. Disgusting. He should be accountable for his harm - there need to be processes for this, for him to still say such deluded nonsense SHOWS that without making him stare in the face what he has done, officially, he will not stop stating that...

The crux of what we need to get across to everyone. But that is never well-written anywhere official in simple form. Love the phrase 'soup of problems'. Just need to add in the 'soup of potential exerters' and that would be the penny-drop you dream of everyone 'getting' (along with how long...

Do we know the exact wording on the locus of control questions? and where it sat ie was it after 3 questions about their mental health and 'primed' in a certain direction? I imagine it to be insightful as to whether it is asking to 'describe their situation' or 'describe how they feel'. Good...

Worth putting a copy of the questions in the neuroticism part of the scale up here. They relate to things like 'worry a lot' and self-consciousness of what people think of you. I'm only looking at the abstract and reading into it that they only did these questionnaires after people had become...

I haven't read the details of this one but agree that should something be developed that could effectively provide more time for data collection, rather than the 'present the issue on demand', as well as removing the need for offices and trained staff, is a potentially good thing. If this were...

The irony being that any results gleaned have to be 'interpreted' - by individuals who possess personality and agenda and sensitivity or lack of it etc themselves. I'm hoping I'm using the term right but this feels like meta-on-meta I theoretically think that the methodological idea of doing...

And do it quickly before you relapse and finally admit to yourself that is what it is (after going through the self-kiddery of 'maybe it's a virus', 'maybe it is the dark', 'maybe it is short term as I've done too much', 'maybe it is something else', 'maybe I don't have CFS at all because my...

hmm. Not had the time or the brain to do more than a cursory read. But what I can't help but note is the examples/functions chosen for this 'entangled brain' argument: 'attention' and 'economic theory' (which has a model of evaluation, comparison, monitoring and selection) are pretty different...

Thank you!

Ha! PS everyone I can spell, just can't edit the title :banghead::rofl:

Anyone got any tips from experience of good places to buy electric heat pads (I'd love ones I could sit on/do my whole back and legs) and brands that are good? Open to other related snuggly things too if anyone's got other bits to recommend Haven't put much thought into what to get but having...
