I worked on a hospital switchboard for 3 years, and felt really bad about disturbing junior doctors when they were trying to sleep, to tell them about a patient having a heart attack, for example. I knew all too well the stress they were under. They used to come into the switchroom to change...

But he says at the end "The anecdotal evidence would suggest that if you get early intervention from GPs who know how to manage and treat the disease, that gives you the best prognosis for recovery." Really? Based on what?

and I took part in activity tests at the Open University summer school that I went to - passed with flying colours (unless someone can point me to some detail/s that shows otherwise), despite the heat. Details here if anyone is interested...

I had a lot of nausea and vomiting in what I think of as Year 2, which I thought might be due to poor diet or too much alcohol or drugs (legal and otherwise). But maybe it wasn't. I discuss it here...

Checked out the Tameside Hospital website and they have a 'Ditch the Sugar Symposium' on 4 July 2018. Details here: https://www.tamesidehospital.nhs.uk/default.aspx.locid-014new09z.Lang-EN.htm Hopefully they'll do an online report.

Yes, it can be. There was a programme on UK radio yesterday about too much sugar in food - I had to cut down drastically a few years ago. See https://www.s4me.info/threads/uk-radio-programme-on-high-carbohydrate-foods.4852/

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b86702 I would have liked to put this in a more ME/CFS-related thread, as sugar problems are high on the ME/CFS agenda, but they aren't unique to ME/CFS either. The Eatwell Guide The Food Programme Sheila Dillon questions whether the government's Eatwell...
