Resurrecting this thread to show you two videos that clearly show how the "results" of the PACE study were manipulated

Quick, clear and painless (unlike GET and CBT)

Great videos. Thanks. I have been through GET and CBT at different times in my illness. Having others to talk to, making you feel like someone really gets it can be uplifting. It does not in any way improve the illness. Exercise can be very detrimental to PwME. Most pain management centers require some form of GET and CBT to continue receiving pain medications.

It is amazing how people cannot understand an illness that they cannot see. I notice how people treat those with visible infirmities compared to those whose pain cannot be seen. Even physicians need a test or x-ray to believe that an illness is real. Hopefully, we will have that magic test soon.

Hi, this is something I posted to an XMRV thread, but I thought a PACE thread could do with some humour.

Exercise can cure ME/CFS. It doesn't matter how sick you are. Since exercise makes you sicker, every little bit will make you sicker faster. As you become totally disabled, just staying alive will be like infinite effort. If exercise can cure, then infinite effort will cure instantly. So the way to be cured is to exercise until you are totally incapacited.
