Not sure why charities are asking patients to support the publication of the NICE #MECFS guideline update when the final version hasn’t been made available to view to see if stakeholder comments were included and what changes if any were made . The draft guideline is diabolical!
Thread 👇 the NICE #MECFS guideline update/replacement is a sham - more of the same contraindicated behavioural rehabilitation
Thread 👇questioning independent guideline evaluation ,and IAPT expansion , part of the Five Year Forward View ,and the commissioning of “NICE” guideline development to Royal Collage Collaboration Centers

@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

NICE MECFS replacement guideline doesn’t mention objective post exertional malaise . Uses setbacks & relapses again as in 2007 guide

It mentions post exertional symptom exasperation instead in severe section

& mentions fear of relapse or post exertional symptom exacerbation Image
NICE MECFS guide context section started MECFS is a multisystemic disease .

No mention aerobic activity rehabilitation is contraindicated

It says GET and it’s evidence bace is “controversial” and further research being done and another update Image
The context section says no Brain inflammation

Post exertional symptom exasperation (used for PEM) defined in terminology list as being days weeks long .Not months years

No mention objective not subjective symptom proven via two day cpet test & of impaired energy metabolism ImageImage

@MrTopple @TheChronicColab Here are some pointers on the previous 2007 #MECFS guideline which recommended antidepressants , activity management , sleep restriction and PEM management with no evidence bace . Have they done the same with the replacement guide twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqlvok
@MrTopple @TheChronicColab Does replacement guide mention post exertional malaise by name & that it objectively tested via 2dayCPET or does it make non evidence based recommendations for setbacks & relapses again? NHS website Still claiming “pacing”no evidence & not explicitly stating all areasno evidence
@MrTopple @TheChronicColab NICE comment on pause of the guide says “The guideline recognises that ME/CFS is a complex, multi-system, chronic medical condition”
Does it state this in the replacement guide . Wasn’t aetiology and pathology excluded from the scope ? Not included in evidence review questions Image

@sepidgar2 Philanthropic endeavours - a great disguise for terrible crimes

As is the #CrimesAgainstHumanity currently committed under the disguise of “sustainability “
1/2
@sepidgar2 Including funnelling children into abusive social care system via increasing false accusations of factitious induced illness & medically unexplained symptoms ,under the guise of “parity for mental health “ & “sustainability” of private NHS joint providers of health & social care
@sepidgar2 Including negative affects of geo engineering on the natural world & #climate
Seeding oceans, stratospheric aerosols , blocking the sun with dust, to “save the planet from climate change”
As we “save the NHS” through #MUSviolationsHour of the chronically ill & vaccine injured
