    That is a particularly revolting pile of tripe.

    That actually makes it worse. More expensive. Bigger waste of money.
    Yes, it's hard. Every time I read another general article about the evils of sedentarism or the wondrous benefits of exercise I have to do a quick mental recalibration à la "Reminder to self: does not apply to ME, does not apply to me, does not apply to ME, does not apply to me,..."

    You also make another important point. Unless they're going to run a separate and different course for each chronic illness, which is unlikely, there's going to be a mish-mash of advice including increasing exercise - and we all know how much increasing exercise "helps" in ME... And it's probably likely many of the proposed course participants would be in an early stage of their illness so not necessarily well-informed about the risks yet.
    Let's hope so. If not, do you have any avenues you or others could pursue to open their eyes?

    What kind of CFS. All sorts of things are called CFS.

    Why don't they want to cure people?

    Are you allowed to call TRIPE? I thought that was arewenearlythereyet's provenance.

    I definitely do not want to waste time on that drivel! :banghead:

    Yes, there is no 'f' in s##t.

    How absurd!

    @arewenearlythereyet may have been the innovator but I think TRIPE has taken off as S4ME speak for extra strong BS and I’d say it’s anyone’s call now.
