    Why it’s so hard for doctors to understand your pain

    For at least 2000 years. The effect is hugely more pronounced if the patient is female. If they (doctors) can get away with implying the patient is stupid, immoral, lazy, attention-seeking, lying, and mentally ill then they will do so.

    Glenn Doherty with "Sick" - A short story about ME

    It has to be downloaded and installed. I would definitely suggest downloading the latest version of the software. Do you remember if you installed it? Edit : On Windows 10, which is what I'm using, the Kindle app appears in my installed programs list as "Amazon Kindle".

    Media items about obesity

    @arewenearlythereyet Thanks for all the info on irradiation of food. I obviously got the wrong end of the stick from things I saw on TV some years ago.

    Bustle magazine mentions CFS

    Source : https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/heart-disease-and-flu#1 If I get the flu or even a heavy cold I'll stay at home. And if I do venture out I'd prefer not to meet people with colds and flu. :mad: It might not have made much difference to me when I was 25, but now I'm getting long in...

    Media items about obesity

    Source : https://www.food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/irradiated-food I realise that "may be irradiated" doesn't mean they necessarily are, but it is definitely allowed.

    Media items about obesity

    I suspect that food irradiation has something to do with declining gut bacteria diversity. I was surprised at how long the history of food irradiation has been - it was first patented in 1905. https://ccr.ucdavis.edu/food-irradiation/history-food-irradiation...

    Parliamentary debate on privatisation of NHS

    :rofl::rofl::rofl: I'd much rather have the NHS than the monarchy! The purpose of National Insurance in the UK has been changed several times over the years and has now become, effectively, just another source of income for the treasury. According to Wikipedia it provides 21.5% of the total...

    Assessments for benefit in UK - short piece on radio including ME patient

    For the deafies amongst us I wish radio could come up with some technology that allowed subtitles. :( Radio is something that I can make almost no use of at all.

    The drugs do work: antidepressants are effective, study shows

    This link from post 1 : http://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736(17)32802-7.pdf has info on all the contributors at the beginning, and some declarations of conflicts of interest at the end, that may be helpful.

    Wesselys Mental Health review could also replace Mental Capacity Act

    I would have qualified for that diagnosis a few years ago, I suspect. I cured the problem by going gluten-free.

    Gastroparesis, post-prandial pain, eating difficulties

    @Mithriel The problem you describe when taking metoclopramide could be one of the following - extrapyramidal symptoms, akathisia, or tardive dyskinesia I hope you didn't take it for long, because if the problem is allowed to continue it can become permanent even if the cause is removed. I only...

    Myalgia, amitriptyline and alternatives

    @Allele What dose of PEA do you use? And do you split dose? I've never heard of this stuff before, so I'm intrigued and may research it when I have the energy. A quick check on Google and Amazon suggests it may be too expensive for me, whatever its benefits. Edit : I found a version of this...

    MUST Fight MUS

    I have a question about the code or codes that are put on patients' records when they are diagnosed with one or more of the various things that are, underneath it all, considered to be MUS e.g. Bodily Distress Disorder or Somatic Symptom Disorder or Medically Unexplained Symptoms or any of the...

    UK House of Lords/ House of Commons - relevant people and questions

    :rofl::rofl::rofl: I really wish that were true. I bought a complete set of my GP notes and they were dreadful! I had notes from other people mixed in with mine. Operation results, letters and notes were not summarised so they effectively ceased to exist as far as doctors were concerned so they...
