    Red-brown speckles on palm of hands and fingers

    I'm afraid I haven't, it just keeps causing problems all the time, and I haven't found a solution. Again, I'm afraid I don't. I say left when I mean right, right when I mean left, or sometimes get lucky and pick the right one. The person I'm giving directions to turns right and is surprised to...

    Ron Davis's trypanosome 'signature' finding (IIMER conference 2018)

    Just for balance, I've never been outside western Europe, so ME must have made a special journey to come and get me.

    Red-brown speckles on palm of hands and fingers

    Well here's an interesting business - same finger, a few days later: They appear to be rising to the surface. The one on the right is still under the skin with halo. The middle one is on the surface. The one on the left has I suspect broken through, and the bigger crater above is where 2 were...

    Mirror: ME sufferer spent seven years in bed but she's now conquered the highest mountain in Britain for charity

    When I read that I thought that was what cured her and was looking forward to trying the Weetabix and custard diet to see if it did anything for me. Love custard. Well if someone can get away with marketing that pile of horseshit I reckon I stand a chance with my new cure - TSCT* She was...

    Red-brown speckles on palm of hands and fingers

    Sorry I probably wasn't too clear. I don't have blisters as in @strategist's photo, I have brown speckles just under the skin, which do not cause the surface to raise or blister. Neither do they rise to the surface, they just hang around where they are, appearing and disappearing. I also tried...

    Red-brown speckles on palm of hands and fingers

    Well until I find an explanation it remains "just one of those things" for me too.

    Red-brown speckles on palm of hands and fingers

    When they started to appear I was intrigued also, but I couldn't find anything by googling, and my skin doctor (who I see every six months since I had a basaliom removed) said "I don't know". I paraphrase, what he actually said was "blah blah stress blah blah". Just fingertips for me. Might...

    The Lancet: UK life science research: time to burst the biomedical bubble

    I wonder who on earth authored that drivel. The fact that the Lancet published it is revealing.

    Red-brown speckles on palm of hands and fingers

    I have three such speckles on my forefinger this morning. I was about to take a photo and upload it, then I realised I would be putting a photo from which my fingerprint could be extracted on the internet so chickened out. Nothing in the cuticles around the nails. They come, stay a while (few...

    Red-brown speckles on palm of hands and fingers

    I have exactly the same. They come and they go. My doctor told me they appear during times of stress. I think that means he doesn't know what they are. But really, my fingertips look exactly the same as that.

    Ron Davis's trypanosome 'signature' finding (IIMER conference 2018)

    My ME started during a trip to England 4.5 years ago. I remember the exact moment - I was sitting in a pub drinking a pint of cider and felt a sharp pain in my throat. That hung around for a few days, I assumed it was an infection, then flu, then weeks of headaches and exhaustion, the rest is...

    IAPT under the microscope, 2018, Marks

    The patient recovers from the illusion that seeking help from the health service is in any way beneficial to their situation, and disappears.

    Simon Wessely Didn't Want His e-Mail On A Blog - Here It Is on Hole Ousia

    None of those things are fixed points, especially not the lorry. Relative to how I'm standing before I get into it.

    New Liberty Protection Safeguards will prioritise timely care of the vulnerable - Simon Wessely

    Shame they can't be sued for tying him to a chair. I find the thought of being leaned over by Simon Wessely for a bit of gentle persuasion deeply unsettling.
