Patient Access App article on CFS

I was browsing through the patient information links on the Patient Access app [https://account.patientaccess.com/] that my GP practice offers registered patients for ordering their repeat prescriptions, providing access to their basic medical records, vaccination history etc.

The following article is linked to under the box 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome':

https://patient.info/news-and-features/the-latest-thinking-on-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-me

I think the full article can be accessed without logging into the Patient Info site.

 

There is also this article, which mentions ME/CFS and Long Covid:

https://patient.info/news-and-features/what-you-need-to-know-about-post-viral-fatigue

 

I thought this information was worth posting because the new ME/CFS Nice guidelines are due to be published next month.

Therefore this may present a good opportunity for appropriate people to submit an updated article to this site. Maybe one that is more accurate in describing the full range of symptoms of ME and what symptom contingent pacing is, relevant links to GP training etc.

Not sure who to suggest to author such an article. Maybe something @PhysiosforME may like to consider and/or @EducateME

Edit: It would be really useful for patients to have a decent, up to date, article on this site, because they could then direct their GP to it (since the site itself is linked to the Patient Access App that GPs provide).

 

It would be good to have some kind of standard info, like a press release, as I imagine there will be a lot of sites that will need to update their info.

 

That's true, but I was particularly thinking about an updated and accurate article aimed at GPs for this site, as patients can point them to it because this is a site that is specifically designed to help give patients background information to improve the patient-GP consultations and to help patients manage their conditions with self-care.
