Summary
Dew 59263 was diagnosed with mild-moderate ME/CFS by the NHS in February 2026, after over a decade of chronic pain managed through a pain clinic. Sceptical at first, they found the ten-session virtual fatigue management course kind of useful, mainly for pacing, though they disliked the CBT and mindfulness parts. They skipped pain clinic group sessions because of fatigue and work.
