    I did the 5 questions and of course scored 5/5.
    It presents a single case of a child who gets ME/CFS aged 13 and takes you through a series of scenarios as he reaches adulthood. I think it's pretty good, if taken seriously it shows how best to treat someone and asks what should be done in each situation. Hopefully participants get explanations if they picked the wrong answers so they learn why they are wrong.

    Yeah except this form really annoys me because they marked me down as wrong for saying LC on question one. I know the form is about ME but I thought they might have a few patients in the questions. I put this over ME because they said smell changes. LC and ME are pretty similar I think I should of either been allowed both answers accepted since that was the first guess diagnosis not the confirmation one or they shouldn’t have put in the bit a about smell. I don’t think they know any kids with long Covid.

    I also hesitated over that, but it didn't say the child had Covid, just an infection. And he clearly fitted NICE guideline ME/CFS diagnostic criteria.
    Of course he could have both LC and ME/CFS.
