Talk about marking your own homework, then promoting it as new🙄 Original r/v on #CBT in #ME Done by: - someone involved in all 8 papers - 3 profs careers depend on CBT treating ME - 2 reviewers had potential financial conflict of interest! Thx Mark Vink, MD for great new r/v

Don’t take the ship down for the sake of the captain MEA The ship has done some V V important & significant things, it has some important & influential crew members & helps lots of people in need & helps find a way out. Please don’t sacrifice an impt ship, for a misguided captain

‘Invisible’ illnesses aren’t actually invisible at all, are they?!?! They aren’t invisible to those close to them, to family, to partners, to friends that can cope & can stay, they are very very f&cking visible!!

“The evidence is now so strong that #MECFS is a serious multisystem neuro-immune disease that it becomes intellectually embarrassing for anyone to continue to consider it to be a psychosomatic disorder.” Exceptional letter by Countess of Mar in 2015, just as relevant today

Clip about the Lightning Process and #LongCovid on BBC Con or Cure. Oonagh Cousins explains the process of saying stop out loud to stop negative thoughts. Dr Melissa Heightman says it doesn't make "medical sense" also mentions #MECFS NICE Guideline.

Annoyingly my ‘disordered health beliefs’ & ‘lack of will to recover’ & ‘secondary gains’ stop me resuming my successful medical career & tbh pretty good life.. & mean a good response to ‘opinion’ piece in The BMJ is beyond me atm, but Putrino Lab puts it pretty well🤷‍♂️ #MECFS

When you really don’t have any expertise, beyond your own short, limited experience… But think you know more than expert medics, researchers & real sufferers… And keep going on & on about your own opinion to anyone who’ll listen (or pay 🤔), without listening… Maybe JUST STOP!

The BMJ Paul Garner 1/Response to Miller et al from 115 international experts: After decades of medical gaslighting, hope for ME/CFS must come from biomedical research, funded treatment trials, and better medical education—not unproven belief reframing. A 🧵 bmj.com/content/389/bm…
