    What needs to change to ensure better care for people with ME/CFS with feeding difficulties?

    The point should be moot, she wanted to live, she wanted to eat. A dr should do no harm, a dr should do their best to keep the patient alive. That should be the discussion. Why are drs allowed to behave in this manner.

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    Has there been a press release by any of these organizations? Since Cochrane seems intent not to respond, public shaming seems the only avenue left.

    NICE ME/CFS guideline - Stakeholder submissions to the draft and NICE responses - published 29th October 2021 - discussion thread
