Call You and Yours: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and ME

You and Yours

Available for over a year

What treatment have you been offered by the NHS for chronic fatigue syndrome and has it worked? The organisation that decides on NHS treatment - NICE - has ordered a review. It's in response to a campaign by some patients, doctors and MPs. Around 200,000 people in the UK have chronic fatigue syndrome. Current NHS guidelines recommend exercise and cognitive behavioural therapy. We'd like to know what treatment you've been offered for chronic fatigue syndrome and if it's worked. Email us now at [email protected] and please add your phone number so we can call you back. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: SIMON HOBAN.
