MEA website survey: Should doctors be allowed to prescribe experimental treatments?
This month's MEA website survey is asking whether doctors should be allowed to prescribe treaments such as antiviral drugs and immunological treatments - even though they do not have a license for use in ME/CFS and are not recommended in the NICE guideline on ME/CFS
