Yep. The bios look like copy pasta. Another telltale giveaway.

It's advertorial for WriterCheap.com. Basically, some black hat marketing person will pay someone in the Philippines or Thailand to write garbage that subtly (or in this case, not so subtly) shoehorns in a link to their client's website. This increases the client's internet presence. The topics...

Thank you. That is indeed very helpful and clarifies the point.

Amy, I appreciate your candour but this was not in any way intended as an attack on you by me or anyone else in this thread, nor should it be construed that way. No one is accusing you of lying. Additionally, I'm still struggling to understand what you mean by 'official' versus listed cause of...

Interesting. That's helpful to know.

I think that reasons around suicide would be in a narrative summary, rather than the death certificate itself, though? Or are they descriptive like that?

Oh, I absolutely agree that they're not reliable. I just meant that it's not really accurate to say only two people have had ME listed on their death certificate as a cause of death. Though you're right; the numbers are pretty meaningless on their own.

It says 'either as the underlying cause of death or as a contributory factor'. The spreadsheet repeats and expands upon this: 'Cause of death was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD 10) code G93.3 'Postviral fatigue syndrome' (Benign myalgic...

This article contradicts that oft-quoted number, stating 88 people between 2001 and 2016 in England and Wales: https://me-pedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_death#Number_of_deaths_due_to_ME.2FCFS Their reference is here...

It's showing as a broken link. Is it a private group?

Absolutely. The Sunday Times is worse than The Times proper in this sense.

The Sunday Times have a pattern. They've published numerous inaccurate things about trans people recently too (which they manage to shoehorn into this article). They don't believe in live and let live; it's always judge and be smug instead, even if it means lying.

Rod Liddle is a racist, bigoted bully. To be written of by him kinda shows we're in the right, to be honest. Anything Liddle is against, I'm probably for.

I think this is everyone so far.

They have a staff member with ME too.

Thanks. :)

Aha! I think I saw this on the Parkinson's UK website when I was looking for articles on gait and visual aspects of motor fatigue. Thank you.

Where can these questionnaires be found?

Good point. So only useful if you're not in receipt of ESA.

Can you register as self-employed going forward? It shouldn't affect ESA if you don't earn enough (check with CAB). I pay voluntary class 2 NICs and the standard class 4 NICs based on my self-employed earnings. The class 2 NICs are only £2.95 a week, which is much less than the ~£15 per week...
