Very disappointing indeed to see @SAGEPublishers publishing harmful and demonstrably inaccurate information about the treatment of ME/CFS. 1/ #pwME #MyalgicE #MedEd #MEcfs #health #NHS #GPnews #Research #SAGE

Readers (and ME/CFS patients) would be better served if Sage published the latest biomedical research rather than the same old discredited behavioral hypotheses about a serious, chronic, multi-system illness. 2/ #pwME #MyalgicE #MedEd #MEcfs #health #NHS #GPnews #Research #SAGE

Conscientious GPs/readers of @SAGEPublishers might benefit from reading this piece about the harm caused to people with ME/CFS by exercise/activity, and in particular by GET. 3/ #pwME #MyalgicE #MedEd #MEcfs #health #NHS #GPnews #Research #SAGE

@SAGEPublishers editors would certainly have benefited from reading this before publishing an article that portrays GET as beneficial for ME/CFS:
'Ten Ways To Prove That Exercising Will Not Cure Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)' 4/ #pwME #MyalgicE #MedEd

ME/CFS patients can only hope that once @SAGEPublishers editors have acquainted themselves with the considerable scientific and medical literature on exercise intolerance in ME/CFS (see link), they will swiftly offer a printed apology... 5/

... and in future cease from publishing such patently unfounded and potentially harmful nonsense. 6/ #pwME #MyalgicE #MedEd #MEcfs #health #NHS #GPnews #Research #SAGE @SAGEPublishers
