Breakthrough Prayer Circle 9pm BST Nov 13th

We pray tonight for genuine hope that there will be a change in attitude and  Government policy towards biomedical research into ME and a proper biomedical service for all. We keep in our hearts and minds especially at this time the review of the NICE Guidelines and Professor Hooper's formal complaint to the MRC :

May truth, justice and integrity prevail.


Lord 
we ask for Healing
we ask for Hope
we ask for Strength
we ask for Wisdom
we ask for Knowledge
we ask for Discernment
and Your Light to shine brightly
on all injustice and untruth
surrounding ME
we give you thanks
knowing that You hear us
and trust that goodness will prevail.
Amen


And we continue to  pray the Breakthrough Prayer , with absolute trust and hope in our hearts. Amen.

    We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed...Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen.( 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, 16-18)

When I am 64 and other false positives : The PACE Trial.

Greg Crowhurst 6 th February 2013 “Much of what we think we know based on conventional statistical studies published in the academic literature stands a good chance of just not being  so “  Roger Pielke Jr http://rogerpielkejr.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/false-positive-science.html Imagine  I am a psychiatrist and for £5 million, say ,  I want to prove that CBT and GET are a safe and useful treatment  for ME. The good news is “ how unacceptably easy it is to accumulate (and report) statistically significant evidence for a false hypothesis ,  according to Nelson and  Simonsohn (2011).  Their frightening  paper “ False-Positive Psychology, ” shows  how  “ undisclosed flexibility in data collection and analysis allows presenting anything as significant ,” .  In fact Nelson and Simonshon statistically  “prove” that listening to “ When I am 64 ” by the Beatles can   make you a couple of years younger ! http://pss.sagepub.com/content/22/11/1359.full.pdf+html The bad new

Severe ME is being unable to hold anything. Severe ME is falling over regularly. Severe ME is your mind not working. Severe ME is being unable to speak on the phone. Severe ME is finding that going to bed or remaining in bed makes you feel even more ill. Severe ME is discovering that there is no possibility of rest, ever. Severe ME is being unable to see anybody because they make you more ill, because you are so hypersensitive. Severe ME is not knowing what to eat that won't hurt you. Severe ME is being neglected by the Health Service. Severe ME is having to regularly have to prove you

Paralysis, a qualitative study of people with Severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Image
Greg and Linda Crowhurst (August 8 th 2013). Synopsis Paralysis is a symptom that is rarely highlighted in the literature for ME, yet is found amongst the most severely ill ME population and even some of those not so severely affected. My wife has experienced it for almost 2 decades, without adequate exploration, alongside exposure to denial and dismissal, ignorance and neglect as well as harmful treatment. We wanted to find out if there was anyone else with a similar experience to my wife's or if she was a rare and very severe case. We wanted to highlight the seriousness of this symptom and ask why it is being ignored and down played not only by the medical profession, with its inappropriate focus on fatigue and the psychosocial response, but also by the main charities, none of whom, flag it up as a main symptom. This qualitative research study indicates that there are significant others experiencing apparently similar paralysis and that my wife is not un
