Professor Peter White

[Suffolkres]

Hi all

I was reviewing some ME history and PACE trial stuff last year when it suddenly hit me -That Peter White was the Peter White I saw at Bart’s in 2007.
I had mild ME at that time and was still working. He diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. He asked a really leading question - which is worse, pain or fatigue? I said pain as I’d recently had to stop ibuprofen after a stomach bleed and was in a lot of pain taking paracetamol.
I had the non-specific cold/sore throat, bad sleep and PEM.

Reading back, there’s also such a lot about my family history, even at the time I thought it odd - he even recorded how my mother gave birth to me. That’s Psychiatrists for you, I suppose! He also moderated some of my family history so that no same-sex relationships could be identified (not at my request!).


Anyway, I now wonder whether he chose to categorise some of us as Fibromyalgia- knowing the treatment is gentle exercise, which he of course thinks is the way to prevent malingering?

have any of you out there had the pleasure of meeting himself or being assessed by him?

D from Suffolk had her medical diagnosis and needs run by Prof PW as he was medical advisor for Scottish Provident PPI insurers (and later, re insurers Swiss Re) back around that time.
This record, secured at the time, was vital for David Tuller's subsequent investigation and scrutiny of original documentation for the necessary evidence for 'PACEGate'.

D fought hard and Long... managing to wear down both White and Swiss Re!
Aided by excellent James Miller Craig Royd's? solicitors. Really helpful legal expert.

It turns out my data is in his 2012 paper on “over-diagnosis” of “CFS” as a patient who turned out not to have it and have Fibromyalgia instead.
I’m tempted to look into how my data could have been used in this way without my consent. Also I can clearly identify my data in the report.
