Yes but normally the older generation have made a better world for the younger generation, so they are entitled to be resentful, jealous and moan a bit. We have made a worse world for the millenials and are now sticking the boot in and trying to blame them by pretending it's all about screen...

Are we the first generation that has been so vicious in our contempt and scorn for the following generation? Having benefited from free university education which virtually guaranteed a good job, being able to get on the housing ladder, having a good pension to look forward to, and using all the...

That was a good read. I took my 3 boys to Blackpool some years ago, we had a giant Dalek right outside our bedroom window.

Well we are in agreement there. I have always thought very highly of her and appreciated her efforts for the ME community (nervous about even using that phrase now). So I was very surprised and disappointed to see such a divisive and potentially damaging blog. It took me a long time to go...

But the speaker leaves considerably richer, and will assume that everyone else does too.

Nice to see them expressing enormous gratitude to those who reviewed the toolkit. Now that we've reviewed it I wonder if they'll be expressing the same enormous gratitude towards us? Unless "reviewing" in the AfME world just means nodding and saying "yes, that's great".

Well here's my take on VES's second blog. It basicially consists of: 1. A friend told me that the PCC (which no longer exists) told him that ME patients were a nightmare. That it? As a lawyer (who can't seem to stop herself from waving her credentials in our face at every opportunity), surely...

Congratulations! You have just won this Sunday's Hedging Prize by qualifying the phrase "Peter Barry is listening" five times in one sentence.

Aye :emoji_hand_splayed:. Fabulous letter. With regards to evidence, from their statement here: https://www.actionforme.org.uk/news/pace-trial-and-behavioural-treatments-for-me/ So they claim that the therapies they recommend are evidence-based, but their only evidence seems to be "BACME...

Well I have now blasphemed openly so the atmosphere is decidedly frosty. I was half expecting to be purged, but they've just booked me again for the next semester. Must be less trouble than getting rid of me I suppose.

Looks like our positive couple gets around a bit: https://www.ignatianspirituality.com/24807/why-gratitude https://www.penderelstrust.org.uk/adviceEmployer.php Still, no need to use a picture of a real M.E. sufferer, it's not as if AfME actually know any.

I think it's marvellous, I feel encouraged and supported to leave my sofa and show the world that with the right help and support I really can go for a long walk. Thank you AfME. Apparently this is one of a series of events, here's the next one: This event fits in with AfME's current position...

I think I might have the same problem.

perpetuating factors—for practical management the most important factors are those that perpetuate the illness and consequently act as barriers to recovery, including the unmodifiable behaviour of Michael Sharpe and colleagues.

And another pic for the "typical ME sufferers in the media" album.

Here's a (rather long) interview of the authors of the hoax articles where they discuss the ethics of the hoax (apparently - haven't had time to watch it myself yet):

Maybe they should practise what they preach and make a small accomodation to support PwME by changing the timeout setting.

The pictures don't seem to fit the tone or subject of the article very well. 5 photographs (selfies - all labelled photo - Emma Owen) of her looking glamorous? Sipping a cocktail, in front of an expensive car, made up with a dog, on a balcony in an exotic location ...

The press is full of the benefits of fibre and wholemeal bread this morning, for example: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-46827426
