Remembering Operation Market Garden
It was the largest airborne operation up to that time.[nb 5] The operation required the seizure of bridges across the Maas (Meuse River) and two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) as well as several smaller canals and tributaries. Crossing the Lower Rhine would allow the Allies to outflank the Siegfried Line and encircle the Ruhr, Germany's industrial heartland. It made large-scale use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure a series of bridges over the main rivers of the German-occupied Netherlands and allow a rapid advance by armored units into Northern Germany.
Initially, the operation was marginally successful and several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured. However, Gen. Horrocks' XXX Corps ground force's advance was delayed by the demolition of a bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal, as well as an extremely overstretched supply line, at Son, delaying the capture of the main road bridge over the Meuse until 20 September.
At Arnhem, the British 1st Airborne Division encountered far stronger resistance than anticipated. In the ensuing battle, only a small force managed to hold one end of the Arnhem road bridge and after the ground forces failed to relieve them, they were overrun on 21 September. The rest of the division, trapped in a small pocket west of the bridge, had to be evacuated on 25 September.
The Allies had failed to cross the Rhine in sufficient force and the river remained a barrier to their advance until the offensives at Remagen, Oppenheim, Rees and Wesel in March 1945. The failure of Market Garden ended Allied expectations of finishing the war in 1944 by Christmas.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic environmental intolerance syndrome (IEI), formerly known as multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome (MCSS), and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are controversial diseases and there is little information in the literature regarding the appropriate conduct of anaesthesia in such patients.
Methods We studied 27 patients referred to our anaesthetic allergy clinic with IEI and CFS and performed literature and web searches on anaesthesia in these disorders.
Results The patients had a significant incidence of adverse events related to anaesthesia which were not allergic in nature. The adverse effects usually occurred postoperatively and were self limiting. Patients with IEI and CFS are not at risk of anaphylaxis and there is no scientific evidence that any drug or technique is excessively hazardous. Neither our patients nor the review of the scientific literature supported available web-based recommendations for the anaesthetic management of patients with IEL and CFS.
Conclusions We suggest that the anaesthetist may be best to use the technique they would use if the patient did not have CFS or IEI but avoid drugs to which there is a history of adverse response. Anaesthesia is likely to be associated with adverse effects in these patients but the effects are not likely to be severe. A series of recommendations for the safe and harmonious conduct of anaesthesia in patients with CFS and IEI are provided.

I was abused by doctors because I am bedridden with ME
+BäbY, Today at 01:01:27 AM:
I was co-erced to lie to a member of Simon Wessely's 'CFS team' that the symptoms I was experiencing were caused by pre conceived ideas (fears) of activity AFTER being diagnosed with a neurological condition. I was threatend that if I did not agree to this, I would be discharged from the hospital (bed ridden) despite symptoms hospitalising me.
I was threatened that unless I agree to go to a locked psychiatric ward if my scan is normal, I am not to have a brain scan at all (I waited 2 weeks bed ridden on the ward for the scan). If I do not agree, I get no scan and I am told I might die from a brain tumour as I no longer have ME anymore, because they say so, and I am not permitted to use the word 'ME' in the ward as it is encouraging the belief in a physical cause that can be overcome with CBT. I was told I'll never know if I might die from a brain tumour, unless I have a scan so it could be very dangerous not to have one. If I do not agree, I am discharged home, bed ridden.
Once locked up, I was threatened that I would be discharged from Hospital (bed ridden) if I broke their agreement (contract) to exercise by becoming temporarily paralysed after exercise, and not being able to sit upright/dress, never mind exercise the next day. I was told was evidence that I was intent on wrecking their CFS treatment protocol by becoming temporarily paralysed. I signed no contract, yet this is the word Chalder uses and encourages 'health care professionals' to enter into a 'contract' (deal) with the patient doing CBT.
I was verbally threatened that I would be discharged from Hospital (bed ridden) if I broke their agreement (contract) to exercise by not doing enough exercise and that by not increasing my exercise levels each week I was also wrecking their CFS programme and breaking the 'contract'.
I was verbally abused infront of a group of nursing staff by a doctor, they did nothing and never reported it in my medical file as happening.
I was also verbally threatened not to tell anyone when I returned home from Hospital their attempts to brainwash me with CBT had failed.
A nurse threw her A4 folder at me from infront of the bed, it didn't hit me.
A nurse threatened to pull me out of bed if I didn't 'bother' to get up when I couldn't move.
Two nurses left me on the floor (I got on the floor myself as I couldn't sit upright as they ordered me to sit in the chair) when they changed the bed sheets. They left me on the floor and walked off.
I was threatened with heavy sedation by a doctor as an 'option' open to cure me if CBT and exercise failed. Hence I did exercise until I couldn't move.
A doctor pushed as hard as possible down on my chest with an echosound 'head' despite me repeatedly saying what they were doing was wrong, and telling them to stop. (I've had loads of these scans, and they never hurt).
I was threatened that if I did not walk (when bed ridden) to the day room to eat with the other patients, I would get no food or water. (Note that in non psychiatric wards, the nurses give all patients a 'jug' of water, and you get your own bed-side trolley to put food on). You don't get that in a psych ward.
I was threatend that if I tried to escape from the locked ward I could be put in a straight jacket, despite not being sectioned under the mental health and told I was a 'free' guest who could leave at any time. How do you leave if the door is is locked and it requires permission from a doctor who isn't there, as all medical care is removed?
I was threatend to stop using a computer they told me to bring into the ward, and that I posed a security risk to the hospital if I used one and that would have consequences if I ignored them. (The truth was, they thought I would look up biomedical research, to counter-act their claims of hysteria). Of note, I never used the computer at all, as the idiots had a Hospital LAN network that (naturally) cannot be 'plumbed' into by patients and in those days required a phone cord and WI-Fi didn't exist.
I have been mentally attacked (traumataised) by having all medical care taken away when suffering from cardiac pain, breathing difficulty and severe pain AFTER being diagnosed with a neurological condition and forced to do CBT/GE for the reasons given above.
I was told if I die of a heart attack from Graded Exercise (when bed ridden), that is life, but they will apologise to my parents. (NB: They refused to state this in writing that it was safe to exercise). So they like to make threats and yet cannot back this up in writing as they are gutless cowards who won't dare put in writing that exercise poses no cardiac risk to ME patients who are bed ridden with cardiac pain!

Do NOT participate: the DWP has passed the names of DLA claimants to a company for a study
By Rosie Cox:
"Reposting with Permission: I thought that those of you who are on DLA should have opportunity to see this message, which has gone out on-line to 25% ME Group members: The message below is sent out for information purposes only and not to cause any members any undue alarm or distress but we would urge you to take account of the content. It has come to our attention that the DWP has passed the names of a number of DLA claimants to a company so that this company can contact them and ask for their participation in a study. We think that you would be best not to accept if you are approached about this. Here is some more information, which explains why. If you are contacted about this you will probably be told something to the effect that this is to help iron out potential problems in moving from the present system (DLA) to the new system (PIP), possibly implying that it will be helpful to claimants. However, we understand that the purpose of this exercise is to fine tune the points system for the new PIP benefit so that the DWP can be certain that the introduction of PIP will mean that savings can be made. Participants in this research will also be offered a £30 'Love to Spend' voucher Œas a token of appreciation¹. This is another reason to be cautious. Accepting would not affect your DLA as this is not a means tested benefit. However, it may affect other benefits that you are claiming. We have been advised by the ŒBenefits & Work¹ Organisation that : ³Claimants should also be aware that from a benefits legislation perspective, payment in vouchers is exactly the same as payment in cash. Any payment should be declared and is likely to be treated as income for benefits purposes. Claimants who are receiving benefits as incapable of work should be particularly cautious about taking part in such trials.² The company concerned is ŒG4S Forensic and Medical Services Ltd¹, which is a subsidiary of the G4S security company. Taking part involves having a single, one hour, face-to-face appointment with a healthcare professional from G4S Medical Services, working on behalf of the DWP. Appointments are likely to take place from Monday 27th June until around the end of August/beginning of September. If you are contacted, we would counsel against participation in this initiative. Taking part is entirely voluntary, according to a statement provided by the Deputy Chief Medical Adviser at the Health Work & Wellbeing Directorate, James Bolton. So there will be no consequences for people who decline to participate - benefits will not be affected.

A lecture at 3am in the morning
By Drjohngreensmith Mefreeforallorg:
I was stopped by the police at 3am on the way home from the pub and asked where I was going.
"I'm on the way to a lecture about the effects of alcohol abuse on the human body," I explained.
The policeman said, " Oh Really? And who's going to give a lecture at this time of the morning?"
"My wife," I replied.

Fibromyalgia & Stress !
Posted by Lady of the Ozarks:
It's no secret that fibro and stress don't like each other. Do you know why, though? Stress releases certain chemicals, such as cortisol, GH, and norepinephrine.
Stress can cause many health problems, including, but not limited to: weight gain, high blood pressure, stroke, metabolic syndrome, poor sleep, immunity, anxiety, emotional eating, cognitive impairment, and you guess it...increased fibromyalgia symptoms.
What do you do about all this stress, though? I've always been incredibly annoyed at doctors whose advice was simply to "decrease your stress levels." I've felt like saying "Excuse me? If I knew how to make less stress in my life there wouldn't be so much stress in my life!" Read more>>

Münchausen by internet: Faking illness online
Jenny Kleeman, The Guardian, Saturday 26 February 2011:
Anyone following her updates online could see that Mandy Wilson had been having a terrible few years.
She was diagnosed with leukaemia at 37, shortly after her husband abandoned her to bring up their five-year-old daughter and baby son on her own.
Chemotherapy damaged her immune system, liver and heart so badly she eventually had a stroke and went into a coma.
She spent weeks recovering in intensive care where nurses treated her roughly, leaving her covered in bruises.
Mandy was frightened and vulnerable, but she wasn't alone. As she suffered at home in Australia, women offered their support throughout America, Britain, New Zealand and Canada. She'd been posting on a website called Connected Moms, a paid online community for mothers, and its members were following every detail of her progress – through updates posted by Mandy herself, and also by Gemma, Sophie, Pete and Janet, Mandy's real-life friends, who'd pass on news whenever she was too weak. The virtual community rallied round through three painful years of surgeries, seizures and life-threatening infections.
Until March this year, when one of them discovered Mandy wasn't sick at all. Gemma, Sophie, Pete and Janet had never existed. Mandy had made up the whole story. Read more>>

Not tonight, honey. I have a headache, when men don’t want sex
Ian Kerner, a sexuality counselor and New York Times best-selling author, blogs about sex:
“Not tonight, honey. I have a headache.” How many times has a guy heard that before? Husbands around the world are all too familiar with being sexually rejected. But now, more than ever, those words, (or some variation), are being expressed by men, to their female partners.
While the conventional wisdom has been that it’s usually the woman in the relationship who inevitably loses interest in sex, the opposite is often true. Low male desire is at all-time high, and is likely to occur for any number of reasons: ... Read more>>

New technology to make biopsies almost painless
Nursing Schools.net:
At Michigan State, scientists and researchers are painstakingly working on laser technology to render biopsy procedures as painless and noninvasive as possible.
Marcos Dantus and Sunney Xie are currently developing a method of scanning moles and other potentially cancerous growths using laser microscopes.
They work by sending out quick pulses towards afflicted spots, adjusting themselves to react to and using various compounds. For patients concerned about skin cancer risk and potential, this saves them painful time underneath a knife — not to mention the hand-wringing involved when waiting for tests to come back.
Medical professionals involved with pharmacology also benefit from such advances as well. Depending on the laser microscope's calibration, it's capable of exploring how drugs penetrate skin and hair — excellent news when developing the most effective drugs they can. Read more>>

Find a counsellor or psychotherapist dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Counselling Directory:
The cause of CFS in unknown, but there are several theories as to how it develops.
It may be triggered by a viral infection, such as glandular fever, hence CFS sometimes being referred to as Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome.
However, it is thought it is most likely caused by several contributing factors, including:
viral infections, which weaken the immune system
inherited genetic susceptibility
exhaustion and mental stress
depression
a recent traumatic event i.e. divorce, bereavement, unemployment
a childhood trauma
<--->
Treatment
There is no cure for CFS, so the treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and adapting day to day life. There are several treatment options.
Self-Help
Activity Management
Medication
If the individual is suffering muscle pain or headaches, a GP may prescribe painkillers. However, this is not a long-term solution, and painkillers should not be taken over prolonged periods of time. CFS can sometimes cause mental health issues, such as depression, and medication may be prescribed for this.
Graded Exercise Therapy (GET)
This is a structured exercise programme that gradually increases the amount of exercise and the intensity of it. It can be tempting not to do any exercise at all, or to do too much, so a GET programme will help find appropriate levels.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is sometimes given to those who are struggling to deal with the effect CFS is having on their life. CBT can help change the way the person feels about the situation, and help them accept the diagnosis.
Complementary Therapy
Many sufferers of CFS have reported that some complementary therapies can help alleviate or provide respite from the symptoms. Relaxation therapy, acupuncture and homeopathy are particularly favoured.
