I'm so happy to find out that NICE has decided not to recommend graded exercise therapy or any type of exercise for the treatment of ME! Also included is that CBT is not to be offered as a cure.

Hi @Francis_theythem, the World Health Organisation has long been classifying ME as a neurological condition. Yet many British doctors have been taking no notice!

Exactly! The PACE trial and GET has done much damage to our community so I'm glad things will start moving along. The nhs did classify it as neurological but only very recently. And even the doctors who do acknowledge it as a physical condition often stigmatize it unknowingly!

Thanks for sharing @Francis_theythem
