Dire, it's just dire... where's the proper medical treatment? Argh...
I think the Lightning Process responses really make the oddities of this survey stand out. If people are "greatly improved", what are they doing on the MEA's website rather than out and about living their new, healthy lives?
I think that what constitues "great improvement" in ME/CFS would be considered trivial improvement in other conditions because after years of illness our expectations are so low; and I suspect that people subjected to the LP have it drummed into them to think positively and "big up" their improvement, including in their own eyes.
And of course, the people taking part in the survey may have been misdiagnosed due to the very wide UK CFS criteria so who knows how this sample is composed.
I find it difficult to attach much value to this sort of survey. Big numbers don't make for an accurate survey, and I think that online surveys are particularly prone to biases and other methodological problems.
I'm starting to sound a bit grumpy, I think I'll go and have some chocolate!
