That may have been a statement made specifically for that patient's personal case.

Are you referring to Jenny's case? If so, I don't think any of us know enough about her individual case to be able to comment on that.

But another review disagrees. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28730271/ https://www.bmj.com/content/366/bmj.l4508.full "In our critical review, we found that serious adverse event signals were already present in the largest randomised trials of HPV vaccines. These signals were ignored...

I'm hearing excellent things about the new consultant doctor at the Barberry at the Birmingham Q Elizabeth hospital. Apparently he sees it as a biomedical illness and rejects all psychological models. (Even though ME/CFS is under neuropsychiatry at that hospital.)

I don't think anyone here disagrees with you on that.

I too was devastated to read the update from Jenny's family this morning. I want to ask (this isn't aimed at anyone in particular), please, please don't turn Jenny's case into a football for the CCI debate. I imagine that that would cause her (and her family and friends) significant distress...

I heard something about giardia lamblia? Herpesviruses?

Yes, Charles Shepherd has said that was his trigger

How bad is this compared to the swine flu in 2009?

Fucking heck (am I allowed to say that on this forum?) So they're now renaming GET / graded activity as "pacing up" And telling people that "pacing up" is not GET Because they know that the patient community says that GET is bad and pacing is good Fucking heck. You can't just change the...

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.
