I didnt mean to underestimate you Melanie, apologies if it came over that way, i was simply asking what your evidence was, that she "knew all about the PACE trial & issues surrounding it". Thank you for telling me. And for your suggestions about how we might ensure they are better informed in...

Just an idea.... perhaps we could start a thread for the AP journalist entitled something like "S4ME thanks Jennifer Cockrell for her article" and then we could all put our thanks and comments there & then someone could tweet her a link to it? It would be great if she would come here, especially...

I'm no particular fan of the royals. At all. But this is a science forum & imho we need to be careful about making claims without evidence.... So I'm interested to see any evidence that she knows all about PACE & the issues surrounding it? He may well have told her that he's been under attack &...

Reading this made me happy. I'm so glad we have you in our corner Carolyn :) you've all done a superb job with this study

The thing i love the most about all of this, (so far - trying not to count my chickens - we still have the weekend papers to contend with yet - i notice nothing from the guardian which is a worry) but so far the story still got through... despite the SMC attempts to counter it & prevent it. I...

https://www.thecanary.co/discovery/analysis-discovery/2018/03/22/the-mainstream-medical-community-just-declared-war-on-people-living-with-me/ I like the Canary because i like the 'call it out' attitude, but i do wish they wouldnt make such basic factual errors as calling it the 'PACE trials' -...

Actually i was just thinkin that i think i did say similar kinds of thing back in year 2-3 of being ill. Dont think i ever used the word 'gift' but i felt i'd learned a lot about myself & grown alot, and was convinced that - somehow - i would improve over time. I think it depends a lot on how...

that was my feeling entirely @Revel ..... in my mind it wnet along the lines of "yeah well, tell me that again in 20yrs"

:D lol brain fog obv meant coup :confused: will edit

Ugh, as i checked the headlines this morning i was greeted by a large photo of Prof Sir Simon smiling with Kate.... right above an article declaring that "Gps too soft on back pain", bemoaning the painkillers & surgery given out, when really pwback pain need psychosocial treatments of therapy &...

Haha YES! that is exactly what i was thinking of thank you :) I did search the forum but i obviously didnt use the right search terms. I never have much luck with that :confused:

brilliant, it'll take me some time to read that but it looks like a useful article thanks Dolphin :)

Re the 'low impact journal' bit, I'm sure i read an article not long ago about journal prestige not being linked to research quality. but i cant find it. Cant anyone else recall it? This one is old & i cant read the full article w/out a subscription, but the recent article was along the same...

@Robert 1973 you are a legend :D

Well i assume the 'trial design specialists' would include Wessely & his co author, they wrote a book on 'clinical trials in psychiatry or something. Although whenever I've seen him talk about that book he always says "i wrote a book" rather than that he co authored it. Clearly considers himself...

Thanks so much @Esther12 I've read that paper but there are so many brilliant papers about PACE i get muddled which one is which

does anyone know where that graph that Anton Meyer tweeted, came from? I'd love to print it out (inc the references) & use it to give to a HP i know

@Londinium you have articulated my point of view beautifully thank you :) I long for the ability to be so succinct. Yes I agree, however.... What @Nasim Marie Jafry says is spot on imho. I'm very happy to cut everyone slack, i need lots of it myself. So wouldnt have dreamed of commenting if...

Goodness does she really think that? Crumbs no!:eek: He will just take whatever she says & twist it for his own purposes. yes a total fantasy. I sometimes wonder if she's aware of the way some of the things she does can be twisted to appear to bolster the BPS ideas.... like pitching a tent in...

Interesting @Cinders66 thanks for that info i was still fairly new to the field back then. Yes thank you indeed @Jonathan Edwards, what can we do to help?
