Finally made it to the conference, too ill in previous years. I found it very useful indeed, and it was just wonderful to see researchers talking to each other - we patients need to take a back seat to allow their interactions.

FWIW, my take-aways are...

- There are many benefits to the ME/CFS community consolidating. It may be impossibly hard but I would like to see many organisations merge into 1-2 to reflect patients' needs - a focus for donations and a voice to put out via the media
- The illness definition and epidemiology seems to be a huge barrier in the UK to progress.
- New technology is going to be a great help - not just the gene profiling, but mass data collection, co-cure, data collection on mobile devices, plus twitter, facebook, etc

Many thanks again, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work.
