Thank you.
I have wondered why too....Hi Wildaisy,<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />I have wondered why too. I don't know. Here are two possibilities.<br /><br />I think I've bitten off small pieces of it with posts like <a href="http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2012/03/characterization-and-unaware-mild.html" rel="nofollow">Characterization</a> and <a href="http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/03/three-damaging-myths-about-severity.html" rel="nofollow">Myths</a>. It is possible we don't understand we are in this together, because we don't fully acknowledge disease progression. In our dealings with bureaucracies. we treat Whitney and Karina as if they were outliers. When we ignore the disease progression elephant in the room, bureaucracies make more sense (less unthinkable).<br /><br />We're not pros. We're just sick people trying to logic humanity from an inhumane world. But we are getting wiser rapidly.<br /><br />Why did Charlie Brown keep trying to kick Lucy's football? Perhaps because he focused on kicking the football (NOT on Lucy), but Lucy focused on Charlie Brown.<br />Samuel Waleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11141951571229527898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002090569667317956.post-60707743216711420352015-12-31T15:33:13.306-08:002015-12-31T15:33:13.306-08:00Wow!

This is exactly what they do, and I am sad to have to observe that ME patients fall for this song and dance routine again and again. Is it because we are so desperate? Many of us have been sick for decades, getting worse all the time and seeing our lives dissolve into nothingness. Thank you for pointing this out with such wit and grace.Wildaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387587496317619866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002090569667317956.post-33280764531655858562015-12-30T23:06:03.348-08:002015-12-30T23:06:03.348-08:00Hi Deborah,

Calling something a 'Working ...Yes, excellent. Calling something a 'Working Group' that has no minutes and does nothing that anyone can find out about. Call something 'research' which is a determined effort to undermine any actual research which has been done. Say that our data are so good and so unquestionable that requests to reveal it are clearly 'vexatious' attempts to destroy our scientific reputation. etc.Nancy Blakehttp://www.nancyblakealternatives.comnoreply@blogger.com
