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 👇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 #MECFS update
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 What specialist knowledge & approach do dieticians & paediatricians have ? A specialist interest in medically unexplained symptoms behavioural approach 2 CFS ? That patients being referred 2 by NICE guides .What evidence used 4“supportive” CBT by specialist in CBT for MECFS ?
@postersandme NICE #MECFS guide replacement mentions “supportive” CBT does not “assume” people have abnormal beliefs and behaviour as underlying cause (as is the CBT model for specialist CBT for MECFS from a behavioural perspective )
@postersandme@keithgeraghty Yet it still retains the same behavioural BPS mind body perception distress approach and principles of management , to increase activity + reduce disability under guise of well-being and quality of life being: [1/2]
@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
@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
