NICE (The National Institute for Care and Health Excellence) have previously been well known to push cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET) as a recommended treatment for ME/CFS.
In their new guideline they do not recommend GET as a therapeutic option and only recommend CBT as a symptom management tool – not as a curative approach.
These changes come as a relief to many sufferers who have been forced to make their lives worse by following this advice.
