My other half has #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis a #chronicillness that is slowly killing her. It has no known cure.

She asked our doctor how to go about going on long-term sick. Our doctor said that they are loathe to prescribe sick notes for ME patients as they have to “work through their fatigue”.

This has been proven to not be the correct way to assist ME patients in the UK and has been proven to accelerate their condition.

How do i support my other half by bringing anger, facts and data to the next doctor’s meeting? I shouldn’t have to educate doctors, and she is too sick to do it herself.

@scattershot change doctors now. If your doc doesn’t get chronic sickness then you will always be on the defense and never getting legit support . So sorry you’re going through this but I’ve been there and change is the way forwards @tomkindlon
