Diagnosis & ME

As I mentioned last week, I spent almost 10 years living with M.E. I was paralysed, bed-bound and wheelchair-bound before my recovery from a car crash helped me get back on my feet. What I didn’t really chat much about on last week’s episode was my diagnosis and what that experience was like.

To some extent, I was very fortunate with my diagnosis. My GP, a kilt-wearing, Harley Davison driving, older chap, was of the belief that, as the patient, you know your body best.

He also wrote to, at the time, the UK’s leading ME specialist. For me, that appears to be where the issues began.

Sources for this episode include:


Action for ME - www.actionforme.org.uk


The 2021 NICE guideline for ME for health professionals in England and Wales.


The 2010 Scottish Good Practice Statement (SGPS) on ME provides GPs with guidance on the differential diagnosis and clinical management of patients with ME.
