Guidelines

Guidance for diagnosis and management of people with ME/CFS can be found in The ME Association publication ME/CFS/PVFS An exploration of the key clinical issues, written by Dr Charles Shepherd and Dr Abhijit Chaudhuri of the University of Glasgow.

This a very useful guide for the patient and by reading it, you will be better-informed should you and your doctor decide to follow one of the treatment regimes. As the booklet was aimed at 'mainstream' medical professionals, the 'Treatments' section of the booklet focuses mainly on 'mainstream' treatments; there is a short discussion on complementary methods. You can obtain the booklet directly from The ME Association.
