    Insight from top 4 papers
    To combat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalitis (CFS/ME), a multi-faceted approach is recommended. Research suggests that a concentrated intervention program involving education, cognitive therapy, mindfulness, physical activity, and writing sessions within a cognitive behavioral therapy framework can lead to significant and sustained clinical improvements for CFS/ME patients [2]. Additionally, nutritional interventions like nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH), probiotics, and high cocoa polyphenol rich chocolate have shown some promise in alleviating fatigue in CFS/ME patients [3].
    Furthermore, personalized pacing programs, counseling, and rehabilitation therapy, along with the proper administration of nutritional supplements for patients with deficiencies, are recommended to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning [4].
    It is crucial to approach CFS/ME holistically, considering both physical and psychological aspects, and to ensure that rehabilitative treatments like cognitive behavior therapy and graded exercise therapy are delivered by trained professionals in collaboration with patients for optimal outcomes [1] [5].

    I asked a chatgpt the same question but trying once with CFS/ME and once with ME/CFS.

    It only recommended GET when asking with CFS/ME and not ME/CFS.

    That's interesting...

    Million dollar question, though: did it suggest the writing sessions within a cognitive behavioural therapy framework? The ones that lead to significant and sustained improvements?

    (I assume they don't involve writing sweary posts describing exactly where cognitive behaviourists can shove their frameworks, as the benefit's only ever been temporary for me.)
