ME: Challenge the myths, champion the facts!
On World ME day 12 May 2025 we invite you to join us in debunking 6 of the myths about Myalgic Encephalopmyelitis (ME/CFS)
Myth 5: Doctors cannot help people with ME
Fact: Doctors can help people manage ME symptoms.
While there is no cure for ME, there are compassionate ways to help patients manage their symptoms, in addition to pacing to prevent Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM).
Treating co-existing conditions and providing medications to address sleep disturbances, pain, and cardiac and neurological issues can offer significant relief. Offering at-home visits, online consultations and palliative care can make a big difference to someone suffering from Severe ME.
