Surprisingly, we don't have a thread for news from China yet

A thread for news about ME/CFS and associated illnesses in India.

Moved from the Long covid in the media thread. This one by the Finnish government's expert group on long covid was published in January 2022, but I don't think it has been posted on here yet? Expertgrupp: Långvariga symptom efter covid-19 kan förekomma hos ungefär varannan vuxen – vaccinerna...

we don't seem to have a thread for Ireland Irish ME patients hope HSE will follow UK and scrap exercise therapy guidance https://www.thejournal.ie/me-exercise-5590653-Nov2021/ @Tom Kindlon @Brian Hughes

A thread for general news, events, articles etc from Austria and Switzerland.

Spain produces quite a lot of ME/CFS research and we have some Spanish members, so I thought it might be useful to have a regional thread for Spain. There's new research out from the Barcelona team with Jesús Castro-Marrero, using trial participants from the ME/CFS Unit, Vall d'Hebron...

ABC - Finding hope for those living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - interview with Sue Collins, dr. Heidi Nicholl and prof. Ken Walder Imagine going for a short walk one day and then the next morning you can't even get out of bed. That's what life is like for some people living with what's...

Looks like an excellent and important letter. It is signed by over 60 international ME experts.

I thought it might be useful to have a thread on ME/CFS news for the Netherlands, similar to the threads we have on Scandinavian countries. If there's some really important news we could make a separate thread for it and link to it in this general thread that keeps an overview of all ME/CFS...

The following has come to my attention (thanks @Philipp): http://dip21.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/19/126/1912632.pdf It is a reply to a list of questions which a few German MPs put to the government: The answers basically say that it's not the Government's concern, it's up to the scientists. The...

So there's some news from Belgium. The government has extended its ME/CFS-convention until 2020. In parliament our Minister of Health said the assessment report of GET/CBT rehabilitation has shown to be highly successful. Patients however were not allowed to see the report... The new...

The News from Scandinavia is such an interesting and useful thread, so I thought it could be worth seeing if we could sustain a similar one for New Zealand. We do have some good research being done, some active advocates and even a suggestion from David Tuller that he might get here in the next...

Hi I'm keen to talk to ME patients in Malta as part of my challenge to raise awareness across Europe. If anyone would like to answer a few short questions or tell me their story that would be brilliant. I'll be there on Feb 25th to run the marathon and am working with the ME/CFS/Fibro...

Thought it might be useful to have a thread on news from Scandinavia. Hopefully it can become an archive and useful as a reference in future. Starting with the kickoff of one of the four research projects which recently got funded in cooperation with ME-patients by the Research Council of...
