Why the cancellation of the new NICE guidelines matters, MECFS 

To people outside the #MECFS community who might not know why this matters... The old guidelines included so-called treatments (GET - Graded Exercise Therapy & CBT) that have been proved, at the least, to do nothing, but at the worst, have caused serious damage to a lot of patients with ME. The new guidelines acknowledged & removed them.

By not publishing the new guidelines, doctors etc, can continue to push these damaging treatments. The DWP can continue to push patients to undertake these treatments and deny anyone who refuses, their benefits. And research into ME continues to be stymied, by both stopping people researching the physical causes of ME, and stopping investment in research.

We thought we were finally seeing the end of the BPS (biopsychosocial) model that GET & CBT are based on. Instead, they are continuing to maintain their control over people with ME.

This will also impact on people with #LongCovid, which has a lot of similarities to ME, and who the BPS lot, are now going after.

biggest downside is I'd probably go down to 16gb ddr4 to save on costs a bit, with an upgrade later

memtesting was very fucky, and new motherboards for this cpu seem difficult to source too...

i have a decent upgrade list thanks to @erikk@chaos.social so might just go for that in the end
