Thanks Ann This is great news for chronic fatigue sufferers.
Of coarse everyone knows exercise is a good thing. But if you can't get out of bed due to crushing debilitating pain and fatigue, then it can't be considered part of the equation. Duh !
Also, by taking it out of the mental health realm and putting it in the physical disorder realm means they finally graduated to the 21st century.
Finally.

Just wanted to chime in that, yes, the Cochrane temporary withdrawal of support for GET/CBT for ME/CFS patients is huge.
Of course, CFS does not equate to chronic fatigue - the CFS label is basically a misnomer applied to mylagic Encephalomyeltis ie, ME. Lyme people will know of Lyme Encephalomyelitis.
It is way overdue that everyone knew ME/CFS has long ago been demonstrated not to belong in the mental health realm, that it was a physical disorder with many many documented biologic abnormalities.
Incidentally, with ME/CFS many types of exercise - in fact, exertion in general - can actually be bad for the ME/CFS patient.
You can imagine the issues this might present for those patients diagnosed with both Lyme and ME/CFS, having to negotiate that exercise tug of war.
