@chrischirp Great to see @trishgreenhalgh noting that LC patients need to pace themselves and that efforts to push for performance increases can cause long-term harm.
It would be amazing if she could help bring pressure on the Cochrane Library to remove its seriously flawed 2019 review of exercise for ME/CFS, which is leading some unwitting clinicians to advise LC patients to over-exert, causing serious harm.

The Independent SAGE +++ ‘We are following the science’ is the message the British public have been hearing from government since COVID-19 mitigating measures began. It says it is following the advice of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE). But the activities of the committee have been kept secret and excluded from scrutiny by the public or wider scientific community. In response, on Monday May 4, the Independent SAGE convened as a group of preeminent experts from the UK and around the world. The aim of the Independent SAGE was and is to provide robust, independent advice to HM Government with the purpose of helping the UK navigate COVID-19 whilst minimising fatalities. The Independent SAGE is chaired by former HM Government Chief Scientific Advisor Sir David King and draws on a range of international and British experts.
