I know it’s because the average doctor doesn’t even know what ME/CFS is and doesn’t keep up with the research at all so they believe exercise helps everything, but I’m talking doctors that directly work with ME/CFS patients. Long covid clinics, neurologists, cardiologists that work with POTS patients (a common comorbidity), etc. They say it’s evidence based but all the evidence I’ve come across says it’s not only ineffective but harmful, but if you say that then they’ll just say “You read too much online.”

Is there any evidence to back up what they’re saying? Why do these so called experts continue to believe in a treatment that has no evidence to support it?
