    Low-dose naltrexone in the treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), 2019, Polo et al.

    UK Parliamentary debate today - Thursday 24th January 2019

    John Hayes MP - interesting that ME gets a specific mention. He wasn’t one of the gang of 5 who made the request to the backbench business committee so not right at the forefront but wondering if he was one of the 40+ who spoke in the debate?

    BC Womens Hospital, Canada: Primary Care Toolkit, Office tools for management of ME/CFS & FM patients 2019

    That’s more like it. We should maybe send an email with a link to this to all the NHS services that we’ve discovered have online information. In the new year.

    Conceptualising illness and disease: reflections on Sharpe and Greco (2019) Wilshire and Ward
