From a quick skim: the advice on helping patients to manage their day-to-day lives with ME is generally very helpful indeed. The request for the...
This is from the Dorset "COVID-19 Rehabilitation" guide. I've been browsing through some other NHS hospitals' post/long-COVID patient advice...
Here's another early one, from Komaroff's contribution to the CIBA Conference in 1993: [ATTACH]
Unfortunately, that's exactly what they did:
In my own case, I experience PEM as being a state roughly akin to a severe flu (if one could experience flu denuded of fever and rhinorrhoea)...
That's a brilliant piece of work. Detailed, thorough, forensic, very impressive. Very pleased to see such a comprehensive dissection of the...

The GP quoted in this article, Tomlinson, is also quoted here as saying "[t]here is no one for whom the problem of chronic pain is not a symptom...
One often overlooked reason is medical education: rare is the medical student who has never been taught "not to reinforce psychosomatic...
I wasn't arguing for an entirely separate ME service, @Jonathan Edwards, but against the uniform approach of the PPS/MUS clinics in particular....
She's mistaken; the development and peak popularity of psychosomatic medicine obviously predates this. I have in front of me a British medical...
