This bothers me every time I read it. I am a mild sufferer, by which I mean life-changingly ill but not completely housebound. GET and CBT should not be recommended for mild sufferers, because it will just make them moderate and then severe. If we are talking about ME/CFS then GET does not offer...

hmm.

30 years has a Hillsborough-like ring to it. Perhaps now it's our turn?

Signed.

You mean inviting all his colleagues to join?

As far as I'm aware he hasn't applied to join us, but if he did I would usher him politely in.

Psy-ence?

He's not really talking to her, but making a vacuous statement to everyone else, saying "read it before you criticize it", knowing that most people won't or can't. He's been patronising the wrong 17 million people for years, and he's showing no signs of stopping, or realising that we have been...

I watched the video in the OP for less than thirty seconds. Up to the point where the narrator, who was gabbling on, said "mental health has physical symptoms too" and then raced on to her next point. Let's press pause right there. Let's think about what she just said, and how many ways that...

It's also another way of saying "You only have to read it and you'll understand why we are right. What? You lack the scientific background to read it? Here, let me explain it to you ..." And now she can walk the walk.

This is Michael Sharpe's snooty way of saying "Hey everyone, she hasn't even read it!" Which he cannot possibly know. Didn't she say in the debate that her training was in science? Of course she's bloody read it. If that ill-informed catty remark is the best you've got Mr Sharpe, you need change...

What on earth are we going to be compared to next? I don't mind Naviaux comparing me to a nematode worm but I won't have Mark Edwards and his mates getting cheeky.

Diamond geezer.

Extremely sinister.

Will that be a Wessely-Whopper or a Whitey-Double-Whopper? Pork pie with that?

I love the way the unit of measurement is a Big Mac. Perhaps we should adopt our own unit of measurement, for example "Results in this study were inflated by a Wessely". Which leads to the question - which is bigger, a Wessely or a Crawley? Perhaps we need a sliding scale.

1. The subject of this thread and the OP is an article about gender inequality in university professorships / the under-representation of women in science. This is an acceptable subject to raise in the "Health News and Research unrelated to ME/CFS" forum. 2. From post 2 onwards the discussion...

I appreciate that. I was just a little crestfallen and needed to talk about it.

I'd like to see the evidence for this. We are often accused of wasting doctors' time, when the reality may well be that many of us are in hiding from the health service and engage as little as possible. When I read the thread title I actually thought it might be a sympathetic paper on the...
