I noticed that MA is probably not above delivering a two fingered salute. He wrote a blog in 2015,Wales picks up the pace. The title bears only a tenuous relationship to the content. Thanks Adrian for those links. Edited

I suspect that this was a key part of the diagnosis for me. One day, in the dim and distant past, when ME was unknown to all but specialists, the consultant asked if I had vertigo. I said no, it was not quite that, and after a lengthy pause suggested unbalanced. I am sure my friends here will...

This looks odd. There seem to have been honest attempts by some to make proper disclosure. The original refusal by QMUL to hand over information has merely heightened unwarranted suspicions. Perhaps it comes down to the dog that didn't bark. I have been trying to find Aylwards CV before1992...

We shall await tomorrows Today programme with expectation. What would an SMC campaign be without the BBC?

I am not sure I like that definition of a rearguard action. It can also be an action by small forces to delay an attack to enable the bulk of the forces to get away and fight another day on their own terms.

There is one point that surprises me. We are looking at UK doctors suspecting possible links to the insurance industry, wondering whether these go back to the early 90s. One would have expected UNUM to have first established relationships with US doctors,but one never hears of such links...

If it be correct that the CMRC has cut links with the SMC it isnot before time. I had not previously noticed that article by Blakemore inAugust 2011. It appears odd that he should have been thought an appropriate person to judge the Maddox prize having apparently used the 18 year old ideas of...

This looks to be not an entirely original idea. But I feel sure that an earlier writer would not have objected. It is concluded that the equal and opposite tendencies of psychiatry to be brainless and neurology to be mindless have led to needless controversy over the nature of CFS. SW The...

That was the thought that occurrd to me when reading the barely civil exchanges between Edwards and Behan. We can be reasonably sure of what Behan was researching.

On the basis that it is only when people are off guard that they reveal their beliefs here is Richards at page 328. Probably ln CFS more than any other condition we have a good example of dis-ease. These people are lacking ease. They are uncomfortable in their own skin as the French would...

From the abstract of his paper at page102 of the same publication. On physiological and pathological grounds it is clear thatCFS is not a myopathy.Psychological,psychiatric factors appear to be of greater importance in this condition.

I thought that the problem with Edwards did not relate to his work on muscle but on the conclusions which he drew from not finding abnormality.

There is an interesting discussion in 1993 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Wiley, Chichester, Ciba Foundation Symposium 173 @ p234 following Wesselys presentation on The neuropsychiatry of chronic fatigue syndrome. Komaroff. In discussing your prospective study, Dr Wessely, you say that patients who...

It is interesting to note the lack of concern which BACME expresses for those patients who fail to improve, apparently only being interested in those who do.

That is a frightening thought. You mean she has been competent to date?

Who would have guessed that afme possess such tactical nous. Round one to them.

I thought that new members were requested to make an introductory post. Perhaps afme could avail themselves of the opportunity to allay suspicion and minimise dissent amongst established well regarded members.

Where can one obtain the supplements with added moral fibre to make up for our obvious lack?

I think that would be Yvette Cooper.

One wonders at what stage someone thinks it worth applying for "whistleblower" status. It would surely be in the public interest.
