Patients

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), is a disabling illness. It is partly a diagnosis by exclusion and therefore 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.

JUSC Medical provides specialist GP care for patients with (suspected) ME/CFS, by taking the time needed to make a diagnosis and discuss treatment options with the patient. A specialist letter will go back to your GP who can support you further, or if preferred you can make a follow up appointment with JUSC Medical.   

** PLEASE NOTE: OUR BOOKS ARE CLOSED **

We apologise; due to an excessive amount of referrals, we have reached capacity for new referrals.

 
We hope to be able to accept new patients again from July 2025 and will confirm this on our website.
Please do NOT send referrals in the meantime as these will not be processed or kept on file.
