We kept activity charts when doing GET and the physiotherapist could see from the charts the harmful impact exercise was having on my daughter. The charts showed a clear pattern which was much easier to visualise than if we had just talked about it"

Review protocols so 'robust' That Cochrane continues to endorse graded exercise therapy as a treatment for ME even though the decision is based on extremely poor quality research and flies in the face of the experience of millions ME sufferers. #pwME #MyalgicE #StopGET #MEcfs
Cochrane’s decision also ignores more and more research like this demonstrating the negative effect exercise has on ME. #pwME #MyalgicE #ScienceNotStigma #MedEd #MEcfs #health #GPnews

Are Cochrane’s editors unduly influenced by the authors of the flawed research? How else can their decision to defend research that's dismissed by academics around the world be explained? How can they ignore the mounting evidence that shows exercise harms people with ME?
