Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), is a disabling illness. It is a complex diagnosis and not always easy to make. No treatment has yet been found, which is extremely frustrating for patients suffering from this illness. This does not mean patients cannot improve or even recover. However, because of controversies on how to treat ME/CFS over the last decade, some patients or providers are not always aware of the latest developments and this is where I can help.
My name is Judikje Scheffer and I am a fellow General Practitioner and Sport and Exercise Medicine registrar. Due to personal involvement with the illness I have a large knowledge of ME/CFS. I have made it my goal to assist and guide patients through their recovery process. Depending on your own experience and wish to support your patient in their recovery I can advise yourself after an initial consultation. I understand that some consultation will take more time than you have and if preferred, I can continue to support your patients with (half hour) follow-up appointments.
