    CFS is used as an example of a functional disorder.

    Interesting that having clinical support nurse on the specialist team and them providing any psychological support needed, is recommended here rather than referral to IAPT.
    That fits with our recommendation to NICE, but for different reasons. The emphasis here seems to be that all so called functional disorders (including CFS) should be managed with psychological therapies, even if they are suggesting a different route.

    They will just start saying that we have MUS in addition to ME.

    I’ve seen tweets and Facebook comments from people with ME who have had this happen already

    if actual medical doctors do not wake up there will no longer be any jobs for them . what would be the point of any sick people going to their gp if the only thing allowed is some air brained idiot spouting nonsense as a form of treatment .the patients would be better of consulting with ancient soothsayers at least the cost to the public purse would be nil .
