I note that there is only one conservative - one of the sponsors. Glad to see that Caroline Lucas, the Green, has signed. Perhaps somewhat at odds with her honorary patronship of the Sussex and Kent ME/CFS Society, although I can't search their website properly due to the lack of a search box...

I found it from clicking around after accessing the website from a previous message: https://thechronicelephant.blogspot.com/2022/05/disability-shame-tango.html

I've sent a slightly-altered version to my MP from my email account.

I saw Professor Pinching in Cornwall, and found him very good, and understanding. He wrote a supportive letter to my GP, I believe. He was one of the main AIDS professors before that. https://meassociation.org.uk/2011/09/professor-tony-pinchings-farewell-message/

I seriously tried to kill myself after having ME for a year, although the distress was added to by the extreme distress of my all-time favourite cat disappearing, probably killed by hunt-supporting neighbours. I spent a month in hospital. I had to give up my house, having walked out of my job...

My father had rheumatoid arthritis, and "repressed hostility, a domineering personality and a rejection of the feminine role in society" fits him very well! Except that the hostility wasn't very well repressed. That said, it was probably nothing to do with his rheumatoid arthritis!

In February, the UK medicines regulator approved the first Covid vaccine based on an older, more established technology. Its developer, Novavax, has pitched it as an alternative for people reluctant to take newer mRNA-based jabs. But while it is now available in much of Europe, Novavax is still...

Merged thread A new Covid vaccine has been approved for use in the UK by regulators. It is manufactured by Valneva, using more traditional technology - similar to how polio and flu shots are made. It contains a whole copy of the virus which has been inactivated, so that it can't cause the...

I think that CMR means Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance.

Radio 4's programme Ramblings yesterday featured a couple whose female half had Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and was walking again after being paralysed in a rare reaction to a flu jab. Ramblings - The Saxon Shore Way in Kent - BBC Sounds There's not much about the illness; it's mostly about the...
