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 FOR 2024 **

We apologise; due to an excessive amount of referrals, we have reached capacity for new referrals in the year 2024

 
We hope to be able to see new patients again from early 2025. This website will keep you informed when our books will open. 
Please do NOT send referrals in the meantime as these will not be processed or kept on file.
