Petition "After the debate - Call for Change"

I didn't find this petition on the forum:

https://www.change.org/p/carol-monaghan-after-the-debate-call-for-change

It was shared by ME Action.

The document has 16 pages.

Edited to correct: This is not by MEAction but Solve ME/CFS Initiative. Sorry!

 

Signed - but didn't realise I was signing - I wanted to change the usual incorrectness of the town given!

 

it has been posted onto MEaction facebook page but I dont think thats the same thing as it being shared by MEAction

 

agreed @Trish given there are already a few petitions out that talk about GET/CBT Im not convinced yet another one is an effective advocacy tool. And anything long and rambling is ineffective in getting messages out and actually can be counterproductive due to lack of clarity. I doubt the value of another petition being signed by the same folks all over again.

ETA also Dr Myhill is calling for a public inqiry through MAIMES - not sure how this fits with that and she already has 30 MPs signed up so are they're going to be confused by constituents writing to them about another campaign

 

Well, I received an email...I guess other subscribers too? I view that as sharing , but I'm happy to be corrected.

I didn't know what to do with this petition too and thought I'd share here in order to have a discussion.

 

ah interesting I've not had an email and on the document it doesnt have MEAction name & logo in the list of supporters

maybe @chicaguapa or @adambeyoncelowe know if MEAction are involved in this

 

Oh gosh, I have to check that! I fear...my brain...

 

So, again, an error...reading things and then remember something else...

Indeed, this is not MEAction but Solve ME/CFS Initiative. So sorry.

 

ah ok I did spot their name/logo

 

I don't think it is. Robin Brown is, I believe, a UK based ME advocate, author and doctor (although I don't know if she is still practicing). It looks like Solve are just one of the organisations that have, presumably, indicated their support of the document.

 

That's what I meant. Done it all wrong. sorry all.

I received a mail by Solve where there was a section about this petition, I searched here if there was a thread, I didn't find it and thought to post it and I hoped to get some opinions.

 

Pretty sure this is one of our symptoms the CDC missed.

 

It's really so embarrassing. Sometimes it can't be hidden.

Edit: grammar.

 

I don't engage with neighbors or people anymore because I make so many mistakes. It is what it is.

 

I know this part of ME too well. If there's a place you don't have to feel embarrassed, it's here on the forum though.

We even have a thread giving comfort about these special ME moments...
