ME/CFS is correct, yes .

Thanks and apologies for not looking properly.

For your condition have you ever had or requested a wheelchair assessment???

What is your consultant's speciality? I ask because there are very few who are "tagged" for ME/CFS - I once had vital help from a rheumatologist (since retired).

It's informative to see which specialists support you - and what grounds - and which don't.

This is for my dear friend, whom i an helping with her ESA as she has Fibromyalgia amongst other illnesses.

She is being seen by a consultant in Pulmonary Hypertension and Rheumotology.

Any advise would be grately appreciated

Radhika.

It is an excellent result well done. Now you can concentrate on trying to feel better without the stress albeit for a short time on the here and now.

Re consultants ans ME/CFS.
My GP is finally on board,somewhat !! and has offered to refer me to a specialist in the Devon area, following an email I sent him to suggest this if he felt it applicable!!!
I had seen a rheumatologist he referred me too, however he only deals with arthritis etc and not this sort of illness !!!! Old school consultant.
