ME/CVS-Stichting Nederland is a ME/CFS patient group and charity in the Netherlands.[1]

ME, CFS and SEID[edit | edit source]

Although the foundation uses a combination concept of ME/CFS in their name[2] in order to be relevant to many doctors and patients, the charity produced a 2018 policy document, entitled “Beleidsvisie ME in Nederland” (“Policy vision, ME in the Netherlands”), which describes "CFS" as a stigmatizing term and recommends "ME" as the future term to be used.[3](p7)

The policy document further recommended using the SEID diagnostic criteria for clinical use, but did not recommend any specific criteria for research use.[3](p8)
