News from the Visegrád Countries - Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary

An article appeared on ME/CFS on Házipatika, the most visited health website in Hungary. This website is aimed at the general public. The article is a summary of description of the disease and it seems to be based on the CDC mostly (you can spot some of the problematic info you can find in CDC materials).

Unfortunately, the article doesn't seem to describe PEM or pacing well. PEM sounds like simple exercise intolerance and the name of pacing is just translated instead of explaining what it is. (The translation of pacing sounds more like "scheduling" in Hungarian, which is easy to misunderstand.) The article does not push GET or CBT. In general, I would say it is a well-meaning article written by someone who doesn't know the disease well.

Here is the Google-translated version.
