    UK NICE 2021 ME/CFS Guideline, published 29th October - post-publication discussion

    UK NICE 2021 ME/CFS Guideline, published 29th October - post-publication discussion

    Still only able to skim --not sure if it's clear that there were two BMJ news articles, both published 29 October 2021: - the one Charles Shepard responded to (4 responses to date): "ME/CFS: Exercise goals should be set by patients and not driven by treatment plan, says NICE"...

    Publication of the NICE ME/CFS guideline after the pause (comment starting from the announcement of 20 October 2021)

    This was from the pull quote I think? At least I remember being reassured by the pull quote. Unfortunately, the pull quote now has the same ambiguous wording as the main text: "We are now confident that the guideline can be effectively implemented and we will discuss the input from the meeting...

    Useful arguments regarding the evidence provided by psychological and biomedical ME research?

    The same appears to apply to CBT, of course -- see this article by the late Graham: McPhee G. Cognitive behaviour therapy and objective assessments in chronic fatigue syndrome. Journal of Health Psychology. 2017;22(9):1181-1186. doi:10.1177/1359105317707215...
