    They also said that 'the government' have asked NICE to review the current guidelines.

    Local newspaper in Stavanger, Norway about today's MillionsMissing event. Very nice article with lots of pictures from a large shoe installation, interviews with several people including professor Saugstad who says:

    May 12th is the ME Awareness day. I have participated in this for several years in a row. Every year I say I hope it will be the last time such a day is necessary. I hope there will be a stop to ME patients noe being taken seriously by the health service and forced to undergo unnecessary alternative treatment attempts that have no proven effect.

    I'm watching the livestream from the San Francisco protest and Ron Davis starts somewhere around the 41 minute mark - very interesting, though my memory is too poor to tell you about it! He's saying a few things I don't remember him saying before.
