    That does read like a rather confused article. LOL at 'weeks'.

    Nice. SMC obviously doesn't bother with the Isle of Man.

    No doubt they will consult the NICE guidelines and come up with the usual CBT/GET. Better off without the 'specialist services' that we have on the mainland.

    The Isle of Man would be a perfect place to have a registry of people with ME. With a population of about 85,000, it's big enough to have a good sample of patients, but small enough that any person with ME can be identified, invited to join, and periodically surveyed.

    Good luck to Craig Morris; I hope he has things well in hand as yes, when it comes to "specialist services" it's a matter of being careful what you wish for.

    That sounds like a great idea.

    That is a danger but as @Hutan points out with such a small population at least the individuals making the decision would be known and hopefully accountable for their decision, unlike the UK.

    Hopefully they are just as likely to be influenced by what’s happening in NI with the work that’s going on there to change things as the GB approach. The petition was good and inevitably the BBC coverage seems to manage to twist it towards the BPS status quo

    I misread that as "BPS status ego".

    I'm misreading things more and more lately, with odd results.

    There is clearly something wrong with me.

    For some reason whenever I come across this thread the idea of the IoM being made into an internment camp for PwME goes through my head.

    Now I know this probably isn't rational, that the property values and availability of helicopters on the IoM are too high.

    But it still does, some part of this story is alarming to part of me and I don't know what.

    I've seen this several times recently. Where has it come from? It's nonsense.

    well they did have a camp for “enemy aliens” using some of the hotels on the seafront in Douglas in the 2nd world war. I don’t want to get into politics so I will just say the likelihood of that idea really happening is probably pretty slim @Wonko but we live in strange times.

    ETA at least some of us would get to chat in person in between sewing mailbags

    Lloyd? That's how he defines it anyway. Anyway, proponents always cherry-pick to align with their beliefs so the origin doesn't matter all that much.

    Not sure that a "neuropsychologist" is appropriate.
