Yes.Usual cop out answer used by both AfME and the MEA when they share dubious articles
I don’t mind a mix of stories at all, I hope the young man does well, but including bits about people being able to recover (which he hasn’t) if they do GET & CBT or/and be strict isn’t appropriate for everyone or helpful.
Once again you’ll get family/friends/general public believing that Pwme can recover if only they’d make the effort.
I have pushed myself to do this a few times due to feeling guilty about not trying hard enough...each time I’ve relapsed badly. Exercise isn’t gonna cure ME.
@Action for M.E. this sends out the wrong message. Imagine a helpful person, seeing that you have tweeted this article, gleefully telling their very unwell friend/relative that this is what they need to do!
It just helps the false narrative and stigma. May as well tweet the exercise cures ME article that appeared in the Guardian (I think it was) some years back. We are trying to move away from this narrative.
