    CBT- Jen Brea Twitter

    I think she is taking on a British ME patient issue from the viewpoint of an American ME/CFS patient. We do have doctors that will still run tests and listen to us and not completely shut us down. I am on Fludrocortisone and it at least worked for the Hypotension and had full Thyroid panel tests...

    Excellent radio Bristol Sonya chowdhury interview

    I noticed that she is better at getting the correct message out ever since the disease got a strong grip on her kid. She is now facing its realities and is putting out a correct message as opposed to when her son first became ill and she still couldn't get the messaging straight as it hadn't...

    CBT- Jen Brea Twitter

    That's the end of the CNN Hero nomination. They will go through her Twitter Feed and decide not to nominate her. They want squeaky clean nominees. Back to Alem Mathees for nomination.

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    It may be that they have to all meet CCC, but it is so easy to meet FUKUDA and REEVES that my fear is they want to prove them as valid and really, they are not. Then what could happen is they believe FUKUDA and REEVES can be used by clinicians to diagnose ME/CFS and they really can't and if they...

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    Additionally, although it is a positive step getting rid of Esther Crawley, what else could they do? You can see she is absolutely NUTS! She is going around pushing the Lightning Process which is garbage even for mental health issues. So I wouldn't look at it as this being the CMRC recognizing...

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    As a matter of fact, @dave30th (I believe this is David Tuller) I think you should ask these two questions of the CMRC. "Do you believe the unproven BPS model or any mental health issue or thought process is driving the ME or CFS Symptoms?" "What definition/criterion will you use to define ME...

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    None of those words or expressions is used for the term "underpin" or underpinning. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/underpin I think we need to look at the word and all its meanings as defined in a dictionary and thesaurus. This is how they get us every time. They word their...

    United Kingdom: ME Research Collaborative (MERC) [was CMRC] news

    "biological mechanisms that underpin CFS/M.E." That word, "underpin" is what concerns me most. They are telling everyone exactly what they are doing. All they are looking to do is find the biological mechanisms that support what they believe they already know, that CFS/ME is a mental health...

    Zaher Nahle leaves Solve Me/cfs

    I have the disease and I can only take so much of this dead-end research crap. He's a guy who wants an interesting career that produces results with great money. Who can blame him? I think this was always a stepping-stone for him even if he still has a toe or two in ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia...

    What does your crash feel like?

    Although most of these are a daily issue they all increase after exertion. Laundry, grocery shopping which my friend has to drive and push cart and help me take groceries into apartment and this is only fresh/frozen items every 6 weeks as dry goods and toiletries are delivered, walk to my...

    My problem with Jared Younger Lab research

    I liked the brain temperature elevation theory but I am not sure if he actually did the study or not.

    Mattresses - What’s working for you?

    Memory Foam nearly killed my body creating more pain and was very hot. However, the Purple brand is made differently so I don't know how it will perform. I was thinking about it but it only comes in a LONG Twin and would not fit my bottom mattress so when I get another mattress I think I will...

    Incidental news correction about ME/CFS

    Happy they did this. I was uncertain he even had ME/CFS but if he did then it should have at least been stated as CFS. And a hockey player with ME, CFS, or ME/CFS is a stretch.

    A 1932 ME/CFS Outbreak?

    In 1932, 100,000 people in Los Angeles became ill. 5% had Polio but others were ill with other diseases and illnesses. In 1934, blood serum from the victims of the outbreak was used on the staff of LA Hospital. Although some who never had this serum injected into them did get sick, MUCH MORE...
