    The Bigger Picture

    I'm surprised at the limited reaction to post #9 from @strategist . [ https://www.s4me.info/threads/the-bigger-picture.8683/#post-153339 ] I'm absolutely gobsmacked and furious about it and would have expected lots of angry responses within minutes!

    Threats, cyber-bullying now targeting scientists who study Chronic Fatigue Syndrome… when will free speech about science be allowed to exist again?

    @DokaGirl In years gone by, before there was a treatment for thyroid disease, sufferers usually ended up in asylums. :(

    Threats, cyber-bullying now targeting scientists who study Chronic Fatigue Syndrome… when will free speech about science be allowed to exist again?

    I have come across a few people online who were diagnosed with thyroid disease (over active or under active) and psychiatric disorders who were eventually "cured" of their mental health problems by having their thyroid properly treated. Some of the conditions that vanished were bipolar disorder...

    Steve Topple: The media is waging a coordinated war against chronically ill and disabled people

    @dave30th The first article mentioned in this thread may be of interest to you since it mentions Kelland.

    Michael Sharpe on Radio 4 Today / Tom Feilden BBC (18th march 2019)

    It came across as just time-filling fluff, so it probably won't upset you. :facepalm:

    Michael Sharpe on Radio 4 Today / Tom Feilden BBC (18th march 2019)

    And isn't he due to retire soon? He certainly looks old enough.

    Kate Kelland follows you on Twitter

    Do people get notified when they are unfollowed? Edit : I'm just curious - I don't have a Twitter account but I do read some Tweeters.

    Is there a connection between ME/CFS and Sjogren's Syndrome? Discussion and a poll about testing

    I haven't been tested but think I would be a good candidate for testing.

    Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Stepped Care for CFS: Randomized Noninferiority Trial, 2019, Knoop et al

    So, if I understand this correctly... There is a treatment available which is not helpful. The same treatment is given over the internet. And the results from the internet version are not inferior to the non-internet version. Well... Err... Yes... That was useful.

    The right to record medical consultations - UK and other countries

    I haven't recorded an NHS appointment but I do take my husband with me to appointments. It is astonishing how much more polite doctors and other medical staff are to me when there is a witness, particularly when that witness is male.

    Thoughts on AMPS—psychosomatizing?

    Perhaps more females than males are traumatised in childhood. My upbringing was very sexist, and my brother was the favoured child in virtually everything.

    Is it true that more than half of medical consultations are for MUS? A look at the evidence.

    @NelliePledge From my point of view MUS comes across as the ultimate "Get out of jail free card" for any doctor whose diagnostic skills are poor. If they don't know what diagnosis to give they can just blame the patient and pass them on to the therapists who've had a week's training in CBT. And...

    Special Report - Online activists are silencing us, scientists say Reuters March 2019

    One thing that no journalist ever asks of these researchers who are, allegedly, in deadly danger from mad patients is... 1) How many times have the police arrested one of these patients? 2) How many have been charged with a crime? 3) How many court cases have their been? 4) How many people...

    Trudie Chalder, BPS and MUS proponent - presentations, interviews and news

    Sometimes I'm very slow on the uptake. I wondered why anyone had discussed fish. Edit : I just wanted to add that I'm not koi about carp or any other form of swearing.

    Is it true that more than half of medical consultations are for MUS? A look at the evidence.

    My concern about the 52% figure for MUS is that the default diagnosis for a patient with MUS is that they are mentally ill. Gaslighting of patients with mental health problems seems to be rampant in any discipline. People who are mentally ill are often denied effective pain relief and accurate...
