I don't like the look of that word at all. I've never heard it before, and it's making me very nervous.

Stupidest picture ever, and that's saying a lot. Haven't read the article and can't be bothered working out how to. Probably trivial fluff anyway. The first words annoyed me - "a little-known condition" - it wouldn't be so little-known if they'd done an article on it 30 years ago.

What, to Edingburgh? Oh I see. Not that I'm aware of. I can't send PMs at the other place. Can someone who is still allowed to PM him with a link to this thread?

SilverbladeTE is from Glasgow.

Shhh!

Extremely long.

Me too. Clicked the first one.

30 minutes on an eliptical trainer at 70% three years ago is the last exercise I ever did. Took me well over a month to recover, and I don't think I've ever recovered to the point I was before that. According to my diary I could do a full day's work in my office in the weeks before that...

I actually do sometimes suffer from malaise. When it strikes I have found that reclining on my chaiselongue clutching my smelling salts and a kerchief can bring some comfort. I also have ME, and when those symptoms strike I have found that even if I lie down in a dark quiet room I can feel like...

You'd also need a control group of healthy people to rest for 6 months and study their condition before and after. Should be able to find plenty of volunteers for that group.

Another model clasping her head.

How utterly fatuous. You could say the same thing about people who believe they have cholera. The fact that they know other people who have cholera (perhaps they all live near each other and get their water from the same well) is just a social factor. Any cluster outbreak of anything can be...

You really like to tweak the nose of terror, don't you? :emoji_punch:

Why thank-you! And a perfectly reasonable answer :thumbup:

I'd be interested to know which alternative therapies are helpful for which mild conditions?

What I find encouraging is who gets to be called the scientists. Until recently it was portrayed as PACE scientists against anti-science protesters. In the Daily Mail article it is now portrayed as ME research scientists against dismissive skeptics who think it's psychological. So the BPS...

Well at least it did some good then :grumpy:

This is fairly amazing because the BBC news website has completely ignored ME for years. If you put ME or CFS into their search box on their news page, hardly anything comes up. Often when something hits the UK newspapers I've searched at the BBC news site and it's like ME doesn't exist. The...

I have found my grumpy cynical outlook to be a source of great comfort and credit the improvements I have made since getting ME to it. I would recommend skeptical grumpiness to everyone. I would also like to note that the universe is a cold dark place where random shit happens. It could happen...

Hiding from the health service like the rest of us?
