It's sad that it appears to have taken something like Covid for any real interest in this condition!

It seems it’s Edinburgh university who is sponsoring it. Well done them for taking the initiative.

Yes, if it is a serious attempt to find out more about ME, and not just something to keep them in work. You get a bit cynical after 70 years of this condition. 🤨 I have been through the questionnaire, and there are one or two 'problems with it that I will point out to them.

20,000 is a good sized sample.
