    This sort of research might not be exciting, but I don't agree that it's useless.

    Why though? Might as well do a study to check if patients enjoy eating food:whistle:

    I believe they already do this sort of study.

    They also regularly check to see if it's hot in India, they have whole teams of people to check if antarctic ice is cold, if the atmosphere continues to exist, and if so.....what exactly is it today etc.

    They check all sorts of things, I can't believe no ones checked if people like eating food - if they haven't done the research then possibly this whole growing things/civilisation lark should be reconsidered due to lack of evidence.

    While I would certainly prefer the money spent on this survey to have gone on biomedical research, from the little I've read it seems to provide a useful counterpoint to the old "membership of internet groups is a sign of worse outcomes" meme, especially as its done by Crawley.

    ETA: It doesn't provide a complete counterbalance to that argument but it provides reasons why use of internet groups can be helpful.

    It might also help to bolster Esther Crawleys push for FITNET-NHS by showing that adolescents are more responsive to online 'help'.

    Are they saying that the internet is not the vector and multiplier for epidemics of health hysteria? :confused:

    But I was assured by world leading expert Sir Simon Says that it is, and that online patient forums in particular are born straight from Lucifer's own bottom. :devilish: :nailbiting:

    Comments from another reviewer, which seem reasonable enough.

    Wow, that's highly speculative and a strange thing to suggest given the nature of the study.

    To be fair this is exactly the kind of absurd spin they usually do when referencing articles (which few read), i`d say it remains to be seen:p

    I thought seeking help online was a big no-no for ME sufferers, they should be dissuaded from googling ME and joining online support groups at all costs?

    Now that Crawley's pushing FITNET, suddenly we have "research" from her (9 participants, usual spin) showing that the internet is suddenly a great thing for ME.

    BPS crew using "research" to advertise their latest money-spinner. Excuse me for barely raising an eyebrow.
