    Since 1st April 1995, the World Health Organisation’s listing of M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) as a neurological disease (ICD-10 G93.3) has been mandated for NHS implementation.

    In 2019, we received this letter from NHS Digital (Data Co-Ordination Board) which confirms that the NHS still mandates M.E. as a neurological illness: Click HERE to see the Letter

    Use the above facts when faced with scepticism of M.E. and especially if the illness is treated as a behavioural/psychiatric illness.

    N.B. On October 29th 2021, NICE finally released the new guidelines on ME/CFS, after a 6-month delay. We are thrilled that GET (Graded Exercise Therapy) is no longer promoted as a treatment; also that CBT is no longer promoted as a cure.
