ME/CFS Guidelines
For GPs
Have you ever felt that your general practitioner was struggling to know what you meant when you said you had chronic fatigue syndrome?
Well, from now on every GP in South Australia should have on their shelves a copy of a new set of guidelines on how to diagnose and treat ME/CFS. It’s a document which you can use to discuss your condition with them.
Download it, read it, and use it when next you see your family doctor:

The Canadians have been doing some superb work on developing guidelines of all kinds for the medical profession re CFS and Fibromyalgia.
Here’s the latest effort from Canada. It’s from Eleanor Stein MD FRCP(C), respected internationally for her work as a psychiatrist on ME/CFS.
