Imagine going through all the expense and effort, getting all the possible test done, and at the end of it all, they hand you a pamphlet on GET.

I had similar thoughts.
Quite a few are people reaching for it and believing this is now the holy cradle for ME.
I don´t, for the same reason I backed out of HELP Apheresis, I´m not convinced (yet).

strong partnerships with surgical units

I didn't know surgery was an option in ME treatment unless they are referring to spinal and neck corrections.

what are they talking about?

 

[SWAlexander]

what are they talking about?

I wish I knew for sure.
A friend is considering this option because she has, according to a CT, "liquid" behind C3-C5. Now she believes this is causing ME. Well, what can I say?

 

[Rufous McKinney]

Now she believes this is causing ME. Well, what can I say?

I actually think many of us HAVE spinal neck problems/ structural/ or having experienced ligament weakening, its all unraveling....

But so rarely do any of us get any assessment of all that.

(I was taken to "osteopaths" (bone doctors) by my parents at 13. It was downhill from there)

I was at the gynocologist, for some throbbing ovary, and they handed me Pamphlets. Everybody in the pamphlet is so Happy now they have their Happy Pill.

This method works? Pamplets. But no diagnosis?

Don't be too negative, they may offer a booklet instead of a pamphlet

and they handed me Pamphlets

Handing out pamplets means, diagnose and help you self.

They hand you a pamphlet and you hand them money. It sounds fair

This and for many other reasons regarding medical incompetence, I have sent out a Google translation of "Osler's Web" review to my primary, who told me this morning that neither "Parsonage-Turner Syndrome" nor ME/CFS is a real illness.

What has changed for ME/CFS patients since Hillary Johnson´s book “Osler's Web” was published in 1996? NOTHING and NOTHING at all.

Just where does all this fit in with that article in "The Times" recently saying doctors must concede this isn't a mental thing?

 

[SWAlexander]

concede

Will they concede? Do you think that the "The Times" will make a difference?

As I recall 'Osler's Web' was a really good book. A lot of research went into it. I still have it somewhere in what passes for our library.

We have made some progress with pain, but it seems we're heading backwards in doctors actually thinking there is something wrong with us.

I really don't have a clue about what is wrong....in my case, it seems to be one layer on top of another. Mind you, I'm 76 so perhaps that's to be expected. COVID hasn't exactly helped and I still keep thinking that I'm just lazy. I now have something else going on and I can only hope the neurologist I'll be seeing in about 2 wks. will actually take me seriously. Who knows? But I'll keep everyone informed. Yours, Lenora

Oh dear, I hope so.
Wishing you well and good luck.
