Prescription medicine, powerful drug treatment and exploratory techniques seem to be more prevalent in the US. As healthcare seems to be more innovative in the US, does this result in better outcomes and quality of life for people with M.E. compared to other countries?


I realise it's impossible to get an objective measure, but I'm interested in people's general overview. I deliberately omitted the option of 'Not sure' as people can express the nuance of the question in comments below if they feel unable to give a straight 'yes' or 'no'.

Thanks!

This yes or no question is impossible to answer for anyone on this forum.
There is no research on this.

Just bumping this one backup, as I despair about the poor quality of care for ME in the UK.

However, I'm still wondering; is the US any better?
