Original feedback for

Queen Square Medical Practice


GP knew nothing about ME/CFS

Doc said: He said gradually increasing exercise helps people with ME - when I said that this had been taken out with the NICE guidelines (when they were revised) because it’s harmful to people with ME he just looked completely blank He hadn’t heard of PEM. I had to explain to him what it was. I told him that all the symptoms that I was diagnosed for fibromyalgia aren’t significant any more in my life, it’s the ME symptoms that I need advice on as I don’t know how to balance these with the symptoms from my cancer drugs. But he said that fibromyalgia and ME are the same - which of course isn't true I usually find Queen Square brilliant, so was incredibly disappointed this time.
