"We need to ask why so many patients have been abandoned, why discredited and dangerous treatments continue to be prescribed and why ignorance and neglect still dominate.. there has seldom been a stronger case for a public inquiry." #pwme #me theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed...

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If you have the extreme misfortune of becoming chronically ill, then know that ‘online’ can be one of the very few places empathy and understanding exist. It isn’t simply sharing ‘identity’; it’s providing a basic support network that doesn’t exist elsewhere.

Chronic illness rips everything from a person that is normally identity-your occupation, hobbies, values and even the simplest acts of self-expression. Framing chronic illness as an ‘identity’ is not only deeply callous, it is fundamentally backwards. #ChronicIllness

What is often overlooked is how the tobacco industry secretly funded psychosomatic researchers to hype the idea of a 'cancer-prone personality.' Not just Hans Eysenck but also Kissen, Bahnson, Blohmke, Baltrusch and others. We wrote about it here: mecfsscience.org/the-dark-ps…

The dark psychosomatic history of cancer part III - ME/CFS Science

This blog post dissects the Hans Eysenck affair and reveals how psychosomatic research on cancer was funded by the tobacco industry.

If doubt about ME/CFS can be established, and if doubt is the cost-saver/profit-driver in the system, then doubt becomes the default standard operating procedure. If you think this sounds like a conspiracy, read Merchants of Doubt, about how doubt was manufactured around tobacco and climate change to protect powerful interests.

10 years today, after a David vs Goliath FOI legal battle that damaged Alem Mathees, White et al were forced to release data from PACETrial that cost UK taxpayers £5M showing graded exercise therapy & CBT didn’t lead to an increased recovery rate for CFS. Please remind the world
Rethinking the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome-a reanalysis and evaluation of findings from a recent major trial of graded exercise and CBT Carolyn E Wilshire 1 , Tom Kindlon 2 , Robert Courtney 3 , Alem Matthees 4 , David Tuller 5 , Keith Geraghty 6 , Bruce Levin 7 Affiliations Expand PMID: 29562932 PMCID: PMC5863477 DOI: 10.1186/s40359-018-0218-3 Abstract Background: The PACE trial was a well-powered randomised trial designed to examine the efficacy of graded exercise therapy (GET) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for chronic fatigue syndrome. Reports concluded that both treatments were moderately effective, each leading to recovery in over a fifth of patients.

It's just so scary. Medical staff not grasping the fundamentals of very severe ME, labeling the condition FND & expecting the patient to just say 'oh you're right, of course I can eat If I didn't pretend to be paralysed'. Jesus Christ.

In 1698, Tsar Peter the Great instituted a famous beard tax in Russia to force men to shave or trim their facial hair. Driven by an obsession to "Westernize" Russian society, Peter viewed traditional long beards as symbols of backwardness.
