Yesterday after a MRI, I got my results, I dont have dementia! Yah!!!
Although I advised this Dr I was diagnosed with M.E. in November 2012 using the new ICC for M.E. He still wrote a report to my GP advising my 'fatigue' (I dont have fatigue issues as such) and suggested I be treated with GET, CBT and anti-depressants!
I advised him his treatment is 20 years outdated and can cause further disablement to suffers if undertaken and that M.E. in not a mental health illness and I have 2 reports from 2008 to current that state I dont have any signs of mental health unwellness. Although I gave him a 'folder' on a range of M.E. information, he was not interested.
Sometimes I think it is time to start writing to the AMA and report this medical abuse and ignorance, how do other M.E. people in Australia access and receive appropriate medical treatment? or are some states worse than others?
