Thanks for that link Charles. Vaguely knew about the Kew archives, but not that sucessful efforts had been made to release the info.

Looks like an interesting blog too.

From the long Behan paper (page 129):

We have used steroids (prednisolone 10-60 mg/day) in patients with such incapacitating weakness that they were in danger of losing their jobs but again, no benefit was seen. A two-month course of prednisolone 30 mg/day, with or without azathioprine 150 mg/day, was also tried in ten such cases but no change was seen in their condition. Indeed, the patients seemed to have more complaints at the end of the course than at the beginning.

I wonder what was redacted from the section at the top of page 7 on CBT? S40 is personal information.
