Fatigatio e.V.

The Fatigatio is a German patient organization. It was founded in 1993 and is located in Berlin.

Controversy

 * When all German patient groups united to protest the German guideline "tiredness" (which included a chapter on ME/CFS and recommended GET and CBT) in 2011, Fatigatio publicly opposed them.
 * During the latest revision process of the guideline "tiredness" in 2018, the then Fatigatio chairwoman wrote to the guideline commission (see page 94 in the linked guideline report), claiming, among other things, that ME/CFS was rare, bedridden patients should be activated and made derogatory comments about the "CFS scene". This statement was published in the official guideline report. When members and the patient community criticized it, Fatigatio claimed it was a "private letter" and asked the guideline commission to delete it from the report. Afterwards Fatigatio published a letter by a lawyer on its website to threaten critics with legal action and a letter by a psychiatrist to defend the remark, that bedridden pwME should be activated.
 * While all other German patient groups cooperated, Fatigatio was the only organization that didn't participate in the German #MillionsMissing protests 2018 and 2019.
