I thought this was very good. Will post extracts.

My overview:

Paper has lots of useful points & also helpful overall to show how the NICE guidelines for ME/CFS have changed dramatically in the UK from the 2007 version, with the updated approach being much more sympathetic regarding helping patients.

“The new NICE guideline for ME/CFS
recognis[es] the prejudice and stigma that people with ME/CFS often experience in the absence of any specific diagnostic test.”

Guten Morgen, liebe #Follower & solche, die es werden wollen! 😉

Immer wieder passiert es, dass #LongCovidKids #MECFSKids bzw. Eltern in Schulen o. Ämtern Probleme bekommen.
Die Kinder werden trotz deutlicher Symptomatik in den Unterricht gedrÀngt.

Ein đŸ§” von #BildungAberSicher
FĂŒr die #MECFSKids #LongCovidKids ist dies höchst problematisch, da sie dann der einzigen bisher bekannten wirksamen #Therapie bzw. #Verhaltensweise, die in diesem Fall sicher angeraten werden kann, nicht nachkommen können:

dem #Pacing!

@postersandme @keithgeraghty Energy management is Activity Management rebranded as Pacing #MEinterventions

Note analeptic anaerobic energy management by @4Workwell is not mentioned by name or pacing .

Nor is #2dayCPET mentioned in identifying PEM in making diagnosis and contraindicated aerobic exertion
@postersandme @keithgeraghty @4Workwell #MECFS NICE guide update rebranded Activity Management ( recommended in the previous guideline due to similarities with GET and includes all activity types & had no definition or evidence bace ) , as “Energy Management” .Claiming it achieves stabilisation & Activity tolerance !
@postersandme @keithgeraghty @4Workwell They been providing “activity management” already at specialist behavioural services

Maybe they created a stink pausing the publication so that patients demand it’s published,to show that patients support the guideline ?

There should be a round table as this is just rebranding

1. It should not be that people end up traumatised by visiting Drs; that they put off going because of how they’ve been disbelieved, dismissed,treated as hysterical, or even yelled at. I know many of you with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis can relate to what I’m saying.

#MedTwitter
2. I’ve grown to dread every visit to Drs & specialists. Not one of them has ever been truly interested in acknowledging that I have #ME, or taken it into account when ‘treating’ me. I use that word loosely, cos unless they acknowledge it,how can they fully treat me?

#MedTwitter
3. I’ve had #MyalgicE for 25 yrs, so that’s a sad indictment on the medical profession & governments who’ve ignored & maligned us for decades. Research funding has been abysmal, worldwide. Because it’s a common thread amongst people with #ME, I know it’s widespread.

"No More Mr NICE Guy
" by Brian Hughes, a professor of psychology

thesciencebit.net/2020/11/21/no-


An incisive blog that covers the NICE ME/#CFS guidelines, issues regarding trials of nonpharmacological interventions in general, appeals to authority, etc.

"The new [NICE] guidelines not only repudiate a heretofore favoured treatment approach for a particular illness, they also threaten to discredit an entire (albeit quirky) branch of medicine — and, for good measure, to cast clouds over significant swathes of psychology too"

Press Release from NICE about its new draft #MECFS guidelines that are out for consultation

meresearch.org.uk/nice-guideline


“The draft guideline also highlights the importance of ensuring that people remain in their ‘energy envelope’ when undertaking activity of any kind”

#CFS

1/n
2/n
Draft NICE guidance “recognizes that #MECFS is a complex, multi-system, chronic medical condition where there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to managing symptoms,particularly where there is the potential for an intervention to benefit some people but cause harm in others”
3/n
“Because of harms reported by people with #MECFS + the committee’s own experience of the effects when people exceed their energy limits...any programme based on fixed incremental increases in physical activity or exercise eg GET should not be offered for treatment of ME/#CFS”
