A scale/criteria for assessing the severity of ME?
Should the UK agree a scale/criteria for assessing the severity of ME and use it?
I was so ill with ME it took me approximately 2 years to discover the Fukuda, Canadian and ME Association criteria for assessing the severity of debility ME causes but particularly early on after falling ill it would have been really useful for setting my symptoms in context and helping explain what was wrong with me to friends and family as well as colleagues.
