Wow

Oh wow, is this a permanent move to get away from the teletubbies or are you on holiday?

You're floating around in the sea?? I don't understand

How bad is this compared to the swine flu scare back in 2009(?) ?

I'm sorry that this appointment was so disappointing. "I don't want to medicalise it" is a weird thing to say. To my mind, it seems to imply that he doesn't think that it is a proper medical condition. But idk, that might not be what it means.

Completely agree. I'm only doing the Italian because I'm enjoying it and it's manageable to me so far. In fact for me so far it seems to be less exertion than e.g. reading S4ME.

Oh dear maybe this is why I keep forgetting to take tablets on time lately??? As I started learning Italian recently. But correlation doesn't equal causation ;)

I like learning stuff but I couldn't do open uni because you have to submit work for them. No way I could write an essay or anything like that. I just want to learn stuff in an easy manageable way. To be fair I think I am learning a fair bit of science stuff via osmosis on Science 4 ME, and a...

I've recently started learning Italian on duolingo, and found it much easier than I expected with my brain fog. I think that the part of my brain that stores languages is maybe different to the part that's most affected by brain fog? Also a lot of the questions on duolingo are multiple choice on...

How can stuff be transmitted between people through the microbiome? I don't understand.

With well-defined inclusion criteria (see Andy's comment above mine), the size of the sample does not affect the likelihood of "mish mash" getting in. But, having such a large sample increases the statistical power, which means that the study's findings are less likely to be affected by any...

No it isn't.

Wow there are some really hostile comments on David Tuller's blog about this. Mostly from that small clique of "SPECT scan diagnoses ME" extremists. There's no chance of convincing them about it, but we don't want them to convince other PWME not to participate in the trial. Does anybody have...

Does anyone recognise any of the MP's in the photo?

I'll decide for myself whether or not somebody is gaslighting me, thanks.

Totally agree. We are not helping our cause by jumping on everything that people like TC say when they are not even talking about ME or MUS. It makes us look like the anti-psychology people that they claim we are. But psychology is all well and good when it is being used in the right context.

In an ME facebook group that I'm in, somebody has asked "why can't they use the raw data from the DNA tests that some of us have already paid for? The OMF does." How should I answer that? I know why not, but can't think how to articulate it... damn brain fog.

Some parts of that are definitely true. Trying too hard to be happy is unlikely to make you happy. I know if I go to do something thinking "I want to enjoy this" then I am much less likely to actually enjoy it because I'm too hung up on wanting to enjoy it. And she's quite right to say that...

If only the planet would do the same :cry:

Random question but are you on Twitter as @DrHomeslice? Because some of this sounds familiar.
