==Parents of children with ME/CFS== In 2013, during a meeting with a government official organized by Invest in ME Research, the parent of a child with [[severe and very severe ME |severe ME]] spoke about their experiences: :"Severe ME causes panic in healthcare professionals who want quick fixes, and look around for some other causes in parents or patients ([[Fabricated Induced Illness|Munchausen's by Proxy]], [[Pervasive Refusal Syndrome]] and so on) despite the [Chief Medical Officer] CMO report recognising ME as an organic illness... :Advice/information given by unhelpful GPs and consultants, paediatricians over the years included removal of parental support, physiotherapy, stating that ME is not a real disease, that it was an illness caused by [[stress|exam nerves]] etc."<ref name="parentpres">{{Cite web|url=http://www.investinme.org/IIME-Newslet-1303-04.shtml | date = March 2013 | title = Spring 2013 Newsletter | last = Invest in ME Research | authorlink = Invest in ME Research}}</ref>
