    NICE ME/CFS guideline - Stakeholder submissions to the draft and NICE responses - published 29th October 2021 - discussion thread

    It is my reasonable expectation that the Royal College of Physicians will come to regret inviting Phil Lightening Process Parker to join the feast. Having said that. Maybe they feared he could ‘step into’ their bodies if he wanted to, that he might be more likely to do so if they didn’t give...

    Functional Neurological Disorders - discussion thread

    Makes clear the necessity of joint action. Essential to form a unified movement of ALL the ill ones. Why I believe we should (almost) never compare our illness to that of others in a covetous way. Where treatment of another illness is presumed good at least in comparison. This...

    United Kingdom: ME Association governance issues

    Yes absolutely. ‘made primarily on social media’ contains implied criticism of the method of communication used by patients advocates & others. Certainly a criticism of patients who did not write to MEA directly in addition to making their pain known publicly. Possibly a criticism of all...

    A Neurological Outpatient Clinic for Patients With Post-COVID-19 Syndrome — Clinical Presentations of the First 100 Patients, 2021, Boesl et al

    I don’t know if wilful either just a possibility. They lack knowledge of course but something has provoked them to decide to take action anyway. Something that is not just their own not knowing. So perhaps an expectation of praise and reward if they go right ahead with application of their...

    A Neurological Outpatient Clinic for Patients With Post-COVID-19 Syndrome — Clinical Presentations of the First 100 Patients, 2021, Boesl et al

    United Kingdom: Bath paediatric CFS/Fatigue clinic - Esther Crawley; Phil Hammond

    Yes indeed. I know there has been much speculation about about PH’s behaviours. A professional troll or terrifically ignorant? On the off chance or perhaps hope of the latter, the last two decades people have been very publicly endeavouring to explain some stuff to him. So with that in mind...
