Hi all, i just recieved my DVD of the conference a couple of days ago and have just started watching it. I thought it might be good to have a discussion thread for anyone who is watching it, or attended and has things to discuss. I'm a bit foggy at the moment, so wont say much thats intelligent.
So far i have watched the first one and a half presentations from Bond university Australia. The first went way over my head, but the second is so far easier for me to engage with. The overall impression i had from these presentations and the first speaker journalist Jorgen Jelsted(sp?) is that things are really moving and heating up. The pre conference autoimmune working group sounds impressive, doctors and researchers - even outside the ME/CFS world- are starting to get involved and take the science seriously.
Jorgen tells us in his pre conference speech that during an interview Wessley said no treatments 'in his lifetime' but i feel positive that we will see full recognition and some treatment within mine.
All the best, Justy.
