I'm disappointed that Jonathan Edwards didn't mention that exercise harms ME patients, sometimes indefinitely as in my case.

I have to be careful with painkillers because I have an extremely low threshold for injury and can easily exert myself. The pain is localized and accumulates the more I use that part of my body. I call it PERI - Post Exertional Rheumatic Injury. The damage can be permanent. I use to take...

Last time I had a home visit was about 5 years ago and my GP told me that GET was the best evidence-based treatment for ME.
