well i got protagonist.... which reading the description, is completely wrong. I've done this, & slightly different but based on the same idea, tests about 10 times over the last 20yrs, 15yrs ago it was all the rage in the corporate world, & i suppose it still is. I've done the MB test 5 times &...

I can clearly see your post @Andy & we're not fb friends. BUT i had to change the fb settings from 'most relevant' - where fb chooses which comments to display, to 'new comments' - where all comments are displayed in chronological order. I'm in favour of them posting everything. But I find it...

I'm afraid i've not the strength to read the whole thread so apologies if i repeat or go off track. But I couldn't agree more. I think a 'name & shame' website, although possibly useful for some things, would be a massive own goal. The very last thing we need imo is somewhere else for the...

oooo you wouldnt want to do that <sharp intake of breath> ... that'll be boom & bust n you want to avoid that! for anyone unclear that was sarcasm. Interesting article.

Exactly. I couldnt walk 500mtrs in 6 days. It took me a while to understand the chart because of that. My SF36 is 10-15 on a good day, & my maximum distance, at al,l (never mind in 6mins) is 46mtrs without collapsing. This is up & down the garden. And despite making the trip as often as...

This. And the rest of whats been said by JE in this thread re non blinding & subjective/objective measures. I could rave on about all the pernickety bits that irritate me in this scope doc. But if our response made this point CRYSTAL clear i think it would be very good. I know there is loads...

Eww eeww eww eww EEEWWWW! What on EARTH are the NHS doing getting 'into bed' with these people. I don't know much about the OHC but the Chrysalis thing... ugh. Just revolting.

@kmclellan Hi, I probably shouldn't have posted last night as my comment doesn't make a lot of sense, i was struggling & i probably could have worded things better. Non of what i said was intended as an insult to you personally, it wasnt meant as a 'low blow' - as i said i applaud you for...

Indeed. What we want is something that is actually 'evidence based'. And when we say 'evidence' we mean high quality, scientifically sound EVIDENCE. That's why we are so "negative" about PACE.... we are simply pointing out that the evidence for what we're being given is rubbish. That is. The...

Ok so i a bit foggy so will just give first impressions... sorry they are 'whats wrong' rather than what's right, because thats just what is jumping out at ame as i spot errors easier when i not at my best. 12.5% - The thing about falling asleep, i dont sleep in the day, i wish i did. Severe...

Very, very good. such a good precis of the issues

Precisely. I do think it's poor for a doctor of his status, standing, influence & power over whether his patients receive such benefits, to not be aware that PIP has nothing whatsoever to do with whether someone is fit for work or not. Its about the extra financial burden of being ill/disabled &...

Wow @Dx Revision Watch this whole situation is deeply disturbing & scary & it just stinks that a few patients/advocates - mainly yourself & Mary Dimmock as i understand it, are having to do all this massively complex, confusing & seemingly never ending work. I cant keep up with it at all, you...

yes, https://www.s4me.info/threads/telegraph-front-page-wessely-photo-wth-duchess-of-cambridge-bps-back-pain-treatment.3124/ posts i dont think this was the first time though... i seem to remember something to do with his work with the MOD & Combat Stress charity, maybe when he got his...

It might be worth doing anyway for the benefit of new patients, regardless of what happens with NICE - i dont know about that, as long as we're sure there isnt something good already in use... has the MEA pacing leaflet been looked at i seem to remember it being quite helpful? and there was also...

@NelliePledge thanks for that link it's useful.... In the managing stress section Unless of course we're saying no to CBT or that we need to stop rather than pushing on with your shitty advice Unless its the schedule of GET you've set for us Except of course for the fact that we at the...

Sexual Assault. Plain and simple. They should all be in prison, every last one of them. ETA There is no difference between this & a bunch of blokes deciding to do it to some woman passed out drunk. In fact it's worse because these woman have put their trust in these doctors.

Ahhhh, well, that explains it then. He reacted in a cognitively unhealthy way to a 'minor' health event - not saying tinnitus is nothing - i have it quite badly & it can be miserable at times, but it's not exactly rocket science to avoid focusing on it. But he did focus on it, he obsessed over...

exactly patronising b*stards, they really do think we are stupid. Very funny clip @large donner

haha lol they are 'chandlers' indeed....... what a marvellous freudian slip :D It should be called that from now on imo. Sorry @Suffolkres i didnt realise you'd written it :confused: I wasnt suggesting in anyway that you were ill informed! Was clearly too fuzzy to be posting :rolleyes:
