Misdiagnosis is rife.
It will no doubt be very common amongst the CFS community.
In fact for many, CFS will be a Misdiagnosis.

I cant see the practical channels to follow in learning about how to correct a Misdiagnosis.
Has anybody done this?
Doew anyone know how to do this?
Are there any specific charities set up to deal with this?
" In a recent address
to the Hospital Alliance for Research Collaboration in Sydney, I pointed out that part of the problem is that there’s no consensus definition on what diagnostic error actually is.
There are two other major impediments. The tools we now use to monitor patient safety don’t detect diagnostic errors, and there’s a serious ownership issue in that no one seems willing to take responsibility for the problem. It seems that diagnostic errors fall into our collective blind spot."
The main problem is that medics will think that whats on a patients history is accurate and most likely the correct diagnoses.
They therefore fail to look with a 'fresh pair of eyes'.
This leads to error upon and and sometimes death.
