So, HMG thinks that many people would actively object to people in their blocks of flats not being burnt to death? Who of course, after being burnt to death, will continue paying rent, so as not to cost landlords any money. I would have thought incinerated tenants would be considered a 'bad'...

They both look pretty good compared with the NHS's offering.

Proposed method of action? Reason for research this particular product on this patient population? Presumably this was all well thought out and such simple questions can be answered. Or maybe they had a product so........went in search of a patient group they could palm it off on? 'Nice'...

So.....love is the answer?

A thoughtful person might wonder why physicians think people come to see them, if it's not to get help with symptoms, that they are seemingly trained to dismiss/ignore, as not being what medicine is about. It might explain their obsession with CBT et al. as they are trained to dismiss symptoms...

Surely rats, ones whose brains haven't been mucked about with, endure this type of stress routinely, every day, when day time temperatures drop to night time temperatures. I would assume that, as rats exist, or so I'm told, that evolution must have provided them with a method of dealing, with...

Regonised by nations on this planet? The same planet thats chock full of nations that until very very recently refused to acknowledge that pwME exist?

It's probably just me but the language they are using makes this sound like hokum, to me. e.g. "By using low-energy, high-frequency electromagnetic waves" so....it buzzes and produces no noticeable/detectable effect? "activates the body’s peripheral sensitive nervous system" erm...as opposed to...

It strikes me as a blame deflection exercise; They seem to be saying that GWI is caused by a combination of genetics (not the militaries fault) and the presence of sarin in weapons dumps (not the militaries fault - the fault of a dead guy). So in no way is 'our' military responsible, even if...

Home visits, to me, by an NHS GP; When I was a child, probably around 5 or 6, mumps or something. When I was 17, 'probably a virus' was his diagnosis, actually the result of an overdose (aspirin, but a lot of 'em) That's it until 2 ish years ago when my GP turned up, unannounced, accompanied...

Elephants probably. At least when something was unspecified in work, my o level maths teachers response was to assume people were referring to elephants

I'm fairly sure if I could remember them they would constitute at least 15 percent of things I can remember. But, in the sense described here, I can't. I typically only remember that something was forgotten, not what (obviously), or, for very long, the situation around not remembering. It all...

Wow!! An idea no one else has ever tried, even those who had no choice but to carry on (practically everyone).. Obviously no one, including those who had no option but to carry on, has ever thought of carrying on with life/work/etc. Absolutely no one. What a revolutionary idea. (I can't help...

Is this not simply a reflection that 'some' neurologists behave as if they believe ME is psychiatric, at 'best' or something else that simply isn't their department. Therefore if ME isn't within the province of neurologists then any neurological symptoms must be irrelevant to a diagnosis of ME?

Internal, and external, tremours- tick Chest pains - tick For at least 20 years.

Interesting information that pwME who develop LC seem to say it's different. I suppose this is similar to the common analogy that some aspects of ME feel, in part, like flu, when I've always been able to tell the difference - the words used to describe symptoms may be the same, it may in fact...

This may be why suicide should not be a taboo subject and not have a rule against its discussion, even here.

By the same logic we should probably burn anyone accused of witchcraft, as we know that works. Hundreds of years of no more witches shows its an effective treatment. So no need for ethical approval, which could be problematic, just burn anyone accused. We know it works:grumpy:

Of course..improving peoples sense of wellbeing is a good thing, or at least better than making it worse. It's been known for a long time that breathing exercises can make people 'feel' better, but, in most cases, not actually better. It's an 'illusion' and provided that is understood then...

Possibly as I was classified as CEV (Clinically Extremely Vulnerable) and the required classification now to get a 2nd booster is to be 'extremely clinically vulnerable' this might explain why I haven't been 'invited', despite it now being nearly 6 months since I was given booster 1. Gotta love...
