Disappointed to see @RCPCHtweets promoting this elearning module which contains outdated, inaccurate and potentially damaging information. The module appears to rely heavily on the deconditioning theory with very little mention of #PEM a hallmark feature of this condition 1/10
ME/CFS is NOT just about tiredness and fatigue. Additionally there is no mention of the abnormal physiological response to activity in people with ME/CFS - instead Graded Exercise Therapy/Graded Activity is heavily promoted and the NICE guidance quoted repeatedly. 2/10
