BBC Radio Scotland - The Kaye Adams Programme, 07/09/2016
The Kaye Adams programme followed up the feature in the Daily Telegraph from Hannah Radenkova with a wide ranging discussion on ME/CFS this morning
I took part from the main BBC studio in London
The segment on ME/CFS was originally planned to take about 20 minutes but it lasted for almost an hour as the studio was getting so many calls and emails
The programme is still available on the BBC iplayer and will be for the next 30 days
It starts at 2 hours 6 minutes on the iplayer recording:

Overall, it was a good programme that managed to put across a lot of information as to why some doctors still regard ME/CFS with scepticism or view it as psychological, the physical vs psychological debate and why some people with ME/CFS get depressed, core symptoms and diagnosis, management - including CBT and GET, specialist referral services, the APPG report on social care and current research priorities - including the new metabolomic study
And as there was so much interest BBC Scotland are wanting to return to this subject at a later date.....
