REMOVE GUIDELINES - CHANGE.org
Recently our Social Security has published a Medical Guideline which encompasses: Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Chemical Multiple Sensitivity, Electromagnetic Sensitivity and Somatomorphic disorders.
http://www.seg-social.es/wps/portal...56/47075/7ecbb7ec-8875-4ddc-a786-2777ed1127ec
This serves as a guidance for the Spanish doctors who have to evaluate if the Me patient is suitable for work.
Some major concerns :
“Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and Graded Exercise Therapy (GET) have shown to be very effective in order to help patients to go back to work in cases of absentism” (p.73)
Somatomorphic disorders are included among these diseases
ME Spanish specialists did not partipate in the Guideline
The Petition objectives are:
· Remove this Guideline
· Do not distribute it among GPs
· Revise and rework it
