Would be great to have such facilities in countries around the world. Approach is very different from the (inappropriate/dangerous) rehab/BPS approach

ABSTRACTIntroduction: A specialised care unit for severely and very severelyill ME/CFS patients opened in 2021. The results from the first 3 yearsare reported.Methods: People with ME/CFS who were diagnosed according tothe Canadian Consensus Criteria, who are aged 18 or above withsevere or very severe ME/CFS according to the UK NICEguidelines, are eligible to stay at Røysumtunet. The study designis a retrospective review of medical records.Results: Between June 2021 and June 2024, 24 ME/CFS patients, 20women and 4 men with a confirmed diagnosis of ME, wereadmitted to the unit for stays of at least 3 months. Seventeenwere very severely affected and 7 were severely affected. Agesranged from 18 to 68 years, with mean (SD) 37.5 (12.8) years.Seven patients showed significant improvement (p < 0.01), andfive others showed some improvement. In total 50% improved (p< 0.01). Patients who improved were borderline significantlyyounger than those who did not, with a mean age of 30.3 (SD12.6) years compared to 39.8 (SD 11.8) years (p = 0.06). The meanduration of disease was 2.3 (1.3) years for those who improvedversus 6.7 (3.9) years for those who did not improve (p < 0.05).Conclusion: This is the first report of a specialised care unit for themost severely ill ME/CFS patients. Fifty per cent of patients showedsignificant or partial improvement. The mechanisms behind theseimprovements are discussed but require further exploration infuture studies.

#MeasureHealthNotWeight had fun today making a #Nutriri' video to share that #TheLancet and #NICEguidelines are in
agreement that higher weight is being over-diagnosed and over-treated and that #WeightStigma is a major barrier to health and healthcare
