Suffers of ME, CFS and similar conditions often misdiagnosed
Doctors' in the UK ordered chronically sick ME CFS CFIDS patient Sophia Mirza to be removed from her home by force, breaking her front door down, and locked her in a mental asylum to 'treat her'.
Days after returning home - she died.
For too long doctors misdiagnosed MCS, and related conditions like, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), and Environmental Illnesses with Heavy Metal Toxicity and very often referred patients suffering the pysical pain symptoms of these conditions to psychiatry. This type of "It's all in your head" treatment adds emotional suffering on top of the physical suffering these patients already experience.
This attitude among many doctors is exceptionally harmful. Scientific and medical studies have been conducted and laboratory results are not consistent with a psychologic origin.
