    Dr Myhill’s complaint to GMC about PACE authors.

    Can't quite bring myself to heed the call when Sarah Myhill cries "Tally Ho!" Too much controversy and quackery in her past for my liking. However, like James Coyne, she'll do precisely what she likes without reference to anyone else, and also like James Coyne, sometimes it's useful to us and...

    Anger.

    This thread is all over the place. First of all it's in "Lifestyle and management", but there's nothing about lifestyle or management in it. The title doesn't tell anyone it's about Unum facts and figures. The first two lines, coupled with "for future reference" then a list of names makes it...

    Unrest now on Netflix

    That's annoying, I told a colleague yesterday to watch it on Netflix. Hopefully it'll turn up soon.

    David Bell about "slow sepsis" in ME

    The point I was making was that it is not degenerative for all. I think it is for some.

    (Not a recommendation) Alastair Miller on CFS

    Absolute bollocks. I am currently sitting on my sofa feeling symptom-free. But I still have the underlying disease that is CFS. People can go into remission for years and get symptomatic again, they probably had CFS all the time rather than re-catching it. What this idiot is saying is that he...

    Guardian: "People accept that I’m gay, but not that I’m disabled"

    I have never described myself as disabled either. Even though I don't think of myself like that, I think I'd probably qualify. I'd certainly take a disabled parking permit if one was offered, and use it, because the walk from my parking space to the classroom is something I could well do without...

    Protest song about ME & Angel on the Water

    Something about the idea of @Graham with a ukulele is making me feel very uneasy.

    Guardian: "People accept that I’m gay, but not that I’m disabled"

    Thought it was a good article. People often don't believe I'm disabled just because I walk around in my superman suit :rolleyes:

    (Not a recommendation) Alastair Miller: The prognosis of CFS/ME

    I think he's a bit out of date, the PACE trial remains contentious amongst virtually all patient groups, many scientists and researchers, journalists, the CDC, everyone who's watched "Unrest", etc etc. Reducing all these concerned people to "some patient groups" is duplicitous to say the least.

    David Bell about "slow sepsis" in ME

    In my case fluctuating, and not anything like as bad as it was when it started, due to pacing alone.

    David Bell about "slow sepsis" in ME

    My understanding is that ME is not necessarily degenerative, but fluctuating.

    David Bell about "slow sepsis" in ME

    Thanks, I knew there'd be a rational explanation.

    David Bell about "slow sepsis" in ME

    I am transported, but can't help wondering why anyone would light a fire on such a beautiful summer's afternoon. I would take it as a sign that something's amiss and needs investigating.

    Nice job @Robert 1973 :emoji_musical_score:

    @Jonathan Edwards your opinion, as ever, would be interesting.

    2008: Electronic Support Groups, Patient-Consumers, and Medicalization: The Case of Contested Illness, Barker

    That'll be me. When I was a university student, in the law library toilet someone had written on the toilet paper dispenser "Sociology degrees, please take one". After three years of wiping my arse on sociology degrees (I've since switched to the Guardian), I tried to give it a second chance...

    More Junk Science - Anthony William aka Medical Medium

    Open letter to TEDxBristol regarding Esther Crawley's presentation on 2 November 2017

    Oooooooooooooooh! I'm starting to lose track and I don't know what Inception is.

    Action for ME terminates, by mutual agreement with the University of Bristol, contract to fund Crawley study

    I really hope this is just spin and bullshit to allow some face-saving, dressing up the fact that they've finally done the right thing and told Crawley where to shove it, in the best possible light.
