Thanks dasiymay - such good reading.

I appreciate the way she articulates the “name game” in her Introduction:

I loved this piece. I wish I could tatoo it on Wessely's eyelids

On his ass you mean?
Though I think there, it would be better to have:
"Insert correct change only"

that made me laugh xxxx

awesome collection of info, a little tough on the brain but encouraging their are those trying to find answers and fight the good fight against flat earth thinkers....

Excellent work as always from Margaret Williams! I wasn't aware of the recent Wessley paper advocating use of the term 'functional' disorder to describe ME specifically because of the benefit that it can be used to deceive patients!

So Wessely thinks we have "functional" disorder! Well I'm I am quite certain that he has "dysfunctional" disorder but I'm not about to waste my precious energy telling the whole world in a paper, his behavior is evidence enough.
