    FII (fabricated and induced illness), and the new ME/CFS guideline

    Despite the history of serious misuse of safeguarding in ME, I am not unsympathetic to child protection workers. It is one of the most difficult and stressful jobs of all, with hopelessly inadequate resources, and they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

    News from the Visegrád Countries - Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary

    Looks good to me. :thumbup: Only problem I have, which could just be a simple translation issue, is with this: What can be done is "pacing", i.e. the scheduling and allocation of the patient's energy, The Hungarian word it was translated from may have a different meaning. But in English that...

    Veteran Beliefs About the Causes of Gulf War Illness and Expectations for Improvement 2023 Kane et al

    'possible' 'exploring' 'perceived' 'may' 'perceptions' 'possible' All in a single shortish sentence. They don't really believe what they are saying either. :grumpy: Exactly.

    Online Health Communities in Controversy over ME/CFS and Long Covid, 2023, Jackson

    IOW, much the same as any other community with a common interest on health policy. Or just about any other science-based issue. Agree with this. Yep, that assertion is just silly. We wouldn't be having this fight debate if there was genuine science-based consensus.
