    @Andy @Adrian
    FB, tweet 'official' S4ME supporting Tymes Trust and thinking of all the kids, including link to donate to Tymes?

    eta: also people could add messages of support on this thread and you could post a link of the thread?

    Should I ask AfME if they can put it on their Facebook/Website? I will be at their AGM tomorrow and could pass it on to Chair of Trustees.

    Any other questions for them/Neil Harrison.....

    There is little love lost between these organisations. As a gesture it may signify a new approach.

    Is Harrison study able to assess the brainstem accurately? If not he's missing valuable data imo.

    Not really. Techniques seem to be in development. It just should be included if possible.

    There used to be another one that got subsumed into Action for ME. Mary Jane Willows used to be CEO and Crawley medical director. :arghh: I think MJW was on the last Nice GDG?

    Edited to remove Media.

    So the Tymes Trust are the only dedicated, national charity for kids with ME that doesn't have a strong BPS agenda or ties.

    Hi @obeat. Yes the imaging research that Neil Harrison is doing does include the brain stem
