    Briefing paper for parliamentary debate.

    The S4ME PACE summary linked in the briefing contains a typo in the two figures on p. 3+4 ("prelanned" instead of preplanned). https://www.s4me.info/docs/PaceBriefing3.pdf Is there another URL to the revised paper with the correct figure titles? @adambeyoncelowe edit: wrote "tables" instead...

    Objective assessment of diverse types of MS related fatigue and fatiguability

    The following list of studies and other papers could be helpful with regard to the claim that symptoms classified as 'fatigue' can't be measured objectively, or that potential objective measures are too unspecific. In the field of MS research, some people looked for objective measures...

    Worldwide Action: Sign #MEAction’s Letter to Francis Collins by May 16th

    Same here. + even skimmed the letter. [ @Trish : both links you provided in "news in brief" link to the MEA-site, also the one supposed to link to the thread here -- noticed that when i used the forum search to find the forum folks' thoughts on the campaign.]

    Turning badmouthing of ME/CFS on social media into something positive - a fundraising possibility

    Hm. Still skeptical. :emoji_thinking: I don't want justice for ME, unless "justice" meant sentencing ME to leave you and me forever. :emoji_v:

    Turning badmouthing of ME/CFS on social media into something positive - a fundraising possibility

    Apologies for being extra-taciturn at the moment - it's for the obvious (ME) reason. In my opinion, three points to consider re the fabulous hashtag idea: 1. should be accessible for everyone, hence e.g. to be easily understood when read by a computer voice (avoid too many abbreviations) 2...

    Science for ME PACE Briefing document

    This is a great summary -- a big, big thank you to all involved! I understand it's work in progress. It will be extremely helpful for any kind of advocacy work. [ETA: I am so slow - seems that posting it on the forum has been work in progress while I was writing my post :facepalm: ] In...

    New German guideline for ME published today

    I'm too slow to follow all the posts in this thread, but let me share my vision for an awareness campaign [edit: or at least to start with]: An "Unrest" screening in Berlin, hosted by the Berlin Humboldt University and Free University (Faculty of Medicine) together with the German Association...

    A better example for patient advocacy re fatigue from a German patient organisation -- for Multiple Sclerosis

    Lacking the resources to write more -- just would like to let you know how the German Patient Organisation for MS "AMSEL" handles the issue of false (psycho-) perceptions of illness related fatigue. Apologies for the Google translation (always funny though) - hope the key message is not lost...

    New German guideline for ME published today

    :-( How embarrassing (in German: "zum Fremdschämen")! Thanks, Joh, for spreading the information. Unfortunately, terminating membership in Fatigatio is possible not before the end of 2018, but I already sent an E-Mail, and announced the formal letter which is necessary.

    The Dopamine Imbalance Hypothesis of Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis

    @Marco Please accept my apologies for the delayed response. In MS, there are many different types of fatigue, too. Actually, some clinicians distinguish and are really interested in investigating the different forms. At least, they differentiate between "mental", "cognitive" and "motor"...

    Is the NIH/CDC going to use the right PEM definition for all their future research? Do patients need to act? Deadline 31 Jan
