ME is the biggest cause of long term sickness absence in schools [1]. 1 in 5 parents face child protection proceedings [2]. ME is not taught in medical schools and 80% of doctors think its psychosomatic [3]. Because healthcare professionals don't understand ME they start blaming the parents. ME...

They take the LP study seriously and the authors are from UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital - this was enough for me to post in Psychosocial Research sub-forum rather than Biomedical. Paywall...

Pretty good article from Vice about the reality of social services in the UK threatening sanctions against the parents of children with ME. People think such barbaric nonsense is in the past. Not so much...

Can't actually find this paper, but the abstract has been posted at Bath and I thought it might be of interest, even though they don't really say much: https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/publications/physical-activity-patterns-among-children-and-adolescents-with-mi (Edit: Open access...
