thanks for posting that vid @Luther Blissett, horribly enlightening. "they don't want to be stigmatised these patients" .... of course, because other patients DO want to be stigmatised. It's nonsense - I find having a mental health dx (a legitimate one PTSD coming 6yrs after ME & for which i...

yeah 'the creeps' is the exact correct phrase Arnie Pye.

Note it's called the 'HOME' study. They seem to select study names that will appeal to participants.... I find it rather disingenuous & cynical. This 'home' study - for people who are miserable & just want to go home. The PACE trial - for people who know that pacing works & would be much better...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/stories-43058019/when-mental-health-gets-physical Although this doesnt specifically say it's about ME/CFS, it's about MUS, & I've seen this woman (the doctor) on a video about CFS before, & recognise her name - Helen something... i cant remember where it was but i'm...

hahaha brilliant :D again :D brilliant

Well thats a high compliment coming from you TiredSam, i love your rants :) That is SUCH a good point, & one i dont think i've ever really noticed before!!:thumbup: They cant have it both ways!:banghead:

Precisely. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Indeed.

This is exactly my feeling. It is beyond patronising. It's in line with my main objection to the whole 'misinterpreting normal bodily sensation leads to aberrant illness beliefs' theory. - DO THEY THINK I'M F-ING THICK?! Do they think I cant tell the difference between the pain & tiredness one...

I think you're right! I also think that with some 'therapy' that might be a lucky escape for some people. Yes same for me. with my feelings too. Observing 'i am anxious' without that being a big deal or something to get worked up about. softening towards uncomfortable feelings, just allowing...

Thoroughly agree Peter. Personally i am a fan of what i have been taught to be mindfulness meditation, for the reasons you share. But unfortunately 'mindfulness' has become a fashionable word & is now used to describe all kinds of things which seem utterly contrary to everything i have learned...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/05/meditation-does-not-make-better-person-study-finds/ Yet more evidence of methodological flaws & bias in psych research? what?! never! :whistle::rolleyes:

I'm no great fan of NLP but @Nancy Blake 's interesting response to the wikipedia article about NLP is here. http://www.positivehealth.com/article/nlp/nlp-cult-or-cure-neither-actually Given that she reports rather similar issues with wiki editing as we do for the ME/CFS pages I think at least...

Oh my God. This is so bad. The CFS edition of the programme will be on prime time ITN... "and now in a special report, we reveal what is being done to help millions with a much misunderstood disease, regain their health & lives, in the face of terrorist-like opposition & abuse of those...

Oh my, i love this! have you read some of her other articles? just excellent & so great to hear psychotherapists engaging in this way. Such a good intro to the mind boggling nonsense of the BPS hypothesis

Haha @Liv aka Mrs Sowester :D

Thats interesting, the one in question was very deep - deeper than a standard sprung mattress

I use a very firm pocket sprung with 2 thick feather & down mattress toppers - so the support is very firm but no pressure point issues. I cant get on with memory foam because i find it too hot plus it takes effort to turn over -to get yourself out of the dip created by your body when you sink...

oh, duh, i was being dense:rolleyes: - when it said "You can email contact at this domain" on the site i interpreted that to simply mean that emailing them at their domain was possible, not that the last 4 words were the email address. Now i understand LOL :D Apologies for thread tangenting.
