UK: Physios for ME

[MrMagoo]

The OT's runnning my local ME/CFS clinic do all the awful BACME pacing up diary keeping rubbish. They refused to have anything to do with the different sort of OT's who deal with aids and adaptations.

I would much rather have a service with specialist nurses who work in conjunction with a specialist doctor and can provide ongoing support including liaising with the doctor over meds and whether there's a need for medical testing at home like blood tests.

Yeah the OT who I saw was encouraging people to follow a Mediterranean diet and eat “mostly leaves” (if you can chew/swallow - strangest addendum ever) and saying if you drink coffee it depletes your magnesium which you need for sleep.

Very hit and miss, can’t believe you can steal a salary from the NHS based on reading tabloid health reports.

FYI
The “Mediterranean diet” which was studied contains a small to moderate serving of white wine as a daily component, by the way.
