As she may be a solicitor, perhaps enquiries should be made as to the intended interpretation of the "or" in that "anxiety or ME". One does appreciate clarity of drafting. These feelings of exceptionalism are amusing to observe. It is fortunate that there seem to be wiser heads amongst them.

This looks to be based on the idea of "circular causal and feedback mechanisms in biological and social systems". It seems to be a popular idea on the south coast...

The beauty of the phrase is that it is wholly devoid of content. There are no rules as to the quality or admissability of the evidence or the standard which it must reach. It means whatever the user wants it to mean. Have any of them read Popper?

Interesting. That NIH description of paresthesia looks as though it might refer only to an acute condition. That "which happens without warning" is hardly relevant to a chronic condition of many years duration. I would also say that the sensation appears to be under the skin. I don't think I...

On reading the various posts, and the thread title, two other questions arise. The first must be restricted to those with acute onset, not because I don't believe in insidous onset but because of the nature of the question. Were such sensations ever experienced before the onset of ME and were...

It's a pity that it was just the same in the late 1980's and 1990's when he was not at all perturbed.

This is what Wallis said Hyperaesthiae of the skin overlying the affected muscles was present from the onset of the myalgic pains, while parasthaesiae made their appearance any time from the onset. These consisted of feelings of numbness of variable distribution and "pins and needles" which...

Apologies, I keep going back to that Washington Post syndicated article by Alfred Friendly. There is a highly intriguing aspect to his emphasising of the links between the RFH and Chestnut Lodge outbreaks. Chestnut Lodge was a private mental hospital stuffed full of leading psychiatrists. It...

This did not look like a case between Stanford and Montoya. It involved proceedings by Mendiola (whoever she is) against Stanford and Montoya for employment discrimination. This could mean either that there has been an agreed settlement out of court or that the case has been dropped. One...

Looking only at a secondary source (Jenkins 1990) it would seem that Gilliam reported "sensory symptoms including skin hyperaesthesia, paraesthesia, and anaesthesia, and varied from day to day". I am amazed that in almost 80 years this seems not to have been thought worth pursuing. Has there...

As they say, "you don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps".

I know not whereof you speak.

One can only hope that this was a study to see what peer reviewers would accept and journals publish.

Were the comments of the cantaloupe as to the outcome of the test recorded?

Has there ever been a study as to whether the benefit to the therapist from the patient is greater than the benefit to the patient from the therapist?

That information that the RFH was only closed to new admissions , out-patients remaining open, scuppers my suggestion above about comparative rate of infection of staff and out patients. The figures for out-patients must be for the whole period of the epidemic. However comparison with the...

I have always assumed that these are the parasthaesia described from the early papers. I too eventually settled on "buzzing" to describe it. Before that when asked if it was "tingling" I said it was similar but at a lower frequency.

...and, coincidentally, exactly the place where the product would be available for purchase.

It would help if the BBC were to indicate how such people come to be in touch with them.

Have you ever heard of a pin-cushion suffering from pain?
