    UK Government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS, published 22nd July 2025

    I hope you don’t mind but I screenshotted your whole conversation on Facebook because it was a challenge and response to challenge that I feel reveals a lot about Dr Charles Shepherds thinking about the plan and what happens next - in my view there's an insanity position of keeping on keeping...

    UK Government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS, published 22nd July 2025

    So is it the situation that the ongoing task force groups that this plan has established means charities are going to continue attending those as their going forward actions & being polite so as to maintain a seat table et cetera, rather than being prepared to come out head on and stay the...

    Sounded like waffle to avoid the subject, absolutely not what patients needed on this rare media opportunity about an important report. Afaics on my first listen , Neither Charles nor Janet critiqued the report in a meaningful way , even after making allowance for them speaking regarding the...

    Sajid Javid personally intervened to give long covid an extra £20m RFF . He could have done the same at the that same time for us. He's now saying that there should have been ring fence funding. How many were actually calling for significant RFF and were the blocks to that coming from the...

    UK Government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS, published 22nd July 2025

    Apart from extreme let down, this story is hardly newsworthy. The fact that the historical context - that the delivery plan was supposed to be the thing that delivered what the 23 years ago 2002 chief medical officers report failed to implement and that this was needed to bring justice &...

    UK Government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS, published 22nd July 2025

    I think we need to have at least some services that serve severe me and can build expertise in the country. . Are there any other conditions with this potential and spectrum of severity That are just left to GP’s? I think dementia might be the only one. I think severe ME needs more complex...

    What about the 25% who are severe and more complex moderate cases? We aren’t just talking about the needs of the mild affected or those newly ill who just need the ABC of management spelled out. And even then, there are medical needs in all , for example in the whole of east Anglia, there is...

    UK Government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS, published 22nd July 2025

    I don’t think there is any mistake in this choreographed stitch up. I don’t think the leaving it until the last day of parliament was a coincidence. I don’t think putting chronic fatigue syndrome as the big header was just a mistake, nor the minimising of severe m.e to housebound and unable to...

    UK Government Delivery Plan for ME/CFS, published 22nd July 2025

    I disagree, I think severe and complex cases benefit from drs building up expertise and specialising. Tragic cases deserve support in off label medicine and I also think m,e clinics should be offering OI & POTS diagnosis and care. Eg my m.e is associated with an inability to relax my muscles...
