Thanks taniaaust1, it's very interesting to hear how things have developed there. All these countries are like parallel universes, each with a different outcome.
Are the charities there trying to counteract the Wessely type guy?
Nope.. one of the CFS/ME support groups over here.. allowed him to do article for the CFS/ME mag and are refering people to him. Which sucks!!
And my own states CFS/ME support group (SA) stopped doing their regular CFS/ME magazine due to money saving (they really dont have much money) and last year merged their EXCELLANT journal with the other state CFS/ME group who are recommending the Wessely school view guy. As i said.. all states were working differently. I think they've had many complaints over it but i didnt complain as i arent subscribed to it now that its merged.
So yeah.. things do have to be watched here to make sure english views dont end up coming in full force thou i dont think they will.. the CC CFS stuff is also strong here. The balance of two conflicting sides and many not trying to have a biased on which way people choose to go probably will stay.
My own CFS/ME state group.. have publically stated that only trust one CFS/ME doctor they recommend and there wasnt any others they felt they would as an association recommend.. (that was about 5 yrs ago now.. and as far as i know they are not recommending other doctors).. and he's very good (my CFS/ME specialist) and understands all the subgroup stuff and the different groups etc.
