    USA: Cleveland Clinic

    Your internal medicine doc sounds a lot like the Integrative Functional MD I was seeing in early 2000. He didn't rec any type of exercise though. The internal medicine doctor I saw in 1992 acknowledged CFS as well, but he no longer believed that it lasted more than 10 years.

    NHS treatments for people who get covid...?

    Yes I understand this, but what does testing + for Covid and then being denied a prescription for Plaxlovid have to do with M.E? Are they selective with who they deny Covid prescriptions for? Maybe I'm missing something here?
