You wouldnt believe the damages done to the cns by antipsychotics and neuroleptic agents - all becsuse my room was a mess in 2012 sept - early 2013 they said 8 had a metabolic trauma or injury but never inv3stigsted anyth8ng but gave me priportal (to tidy my room obvious solution isnt it) why not call my professor and tell h8m anout neurometabolics. Untidy room justifies anyips7chotics.

@bohemian I am so pleased to hear that Dr Hyde is visiting you again. I recall his last visit when he was reassured that you were being released (he wrote to me and gave me an account of his meeting with Dr D.) Sadly, we know Dr D was not telling the truth in a number of matters, as DrBH discovered for himself.
I do hope this time he will meet with a different consultant or doctor who will be prepared to take ME seriously. You couldn't have a better advocate than Dr H.

It does sound like you are suffering from some delusions there. I'm pretty sure that you don't have a remote unclassified weapon round your body. It does seem like you're a bit confused at the moment. Good luck with improving your situation.

Sleep deprivation can push anyone to the edge. Good luck with everything. It is a difficult situation for anyone. Is it possible that the real problems around ME/CFS have led to some paranoia and unreasonable fears? Best wishes to you, and I hope that things do improve for you.

Hi Brian, your mention of being deluded about your career triggered my memory. I remember reading in your medical notes that the doctor claimed you were delusional because you told them you were a scientist. The joke of course is you actually WERE a scientist. Did they ever accept that?
I am so sorry that you have lost the tribunal again. You are having a tough time, I know. I'm so sorry, Brian.I am still puzzled why they state that you are resistant to the medication that gives you such unpleasant side effects, yet still force it on you. It doesn't seem rational to me.
From your previous post, am I right in assuming that you are seeing Prof Matthias again?
We are all still trying to hang together Brian in our own way and it is tough for most of us. I do hope you reach a happier phase of your life soon.
Thinking of you and wishing you well.
<------------ Who does he remind you of? I feel theres no hope of me getting away from psychiatry. I am trying medical negligence lawyers but say it is a mental health issue! I feel they wont stop abusing me with clozipene
i need all your help. Its dire. And feelings of whete do i go who do i try - newspapers!

I spoke to Headway but that was over 5 years ago. They didn't seem to have any specific understanding of ME though then

I don't think there is any point pursuing the newspaper angle, Brian, as they would check it out with your psychiatrist and you know how that would pan out.
You need a strong and determined advocate who is knowledgeable about both ME and mental health issues.
Have you seen Dr Hyde yet as I recall that you said that he is planning to visit you?
In the early days of my illness I saw a psychiatrist who, although not a specialist in the ME area, had a no-nonsense approach to the illness. He believed it wasn't psychological and was certainly a reasonable and compassionate man. He also worked as consultant in legal cases...

Sorry, but don't really know about any of that, or the london school of tropical medicine.

If you want to learn about hyperadrenergic POTS this is an excellent paper. The full text is available free.
I found this Wikipedia article on Adrenergic receptors to be very helpful as it outlines all the effects caused by epinephrine and norepinehrine, which is released by the sympathetic nervous system.

@bohemian
Perhaps Prof. Julia Newton in Newcastle - she doesn't specialise in M.E. but in autonomic dysfunction/POTS etc. I found this paper she was involved in:
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/isrn/2013/784520/
I think it is difficult to find someone who caters to these issues, as there are few autonomic specialists in the UK. There is a list of POTS doctors on here:
http://www.potsuk.org/doctors - you might want to read up about them individually by using Google.
