=== GET/CBT === '''CBT wonβt cure my chronic fatigue, any more than it would cancer β itβs a physical illness'''<ref>{{Cite news |last = Harris | first = Scott Jordan | date = November 1, 2016 | title = CBT won't cure my chronic fatigue, any more than it would cancer β itβs a physical illness|url= https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/cbt-wont-cure-my-chronic-fatigue-me-any-more-than-it-would-cancer-its-a-physical-illness/|newspaper= iNews|access-date= }}</ref> ''iNews'' By: Scott Jordan Harris. (Nov 1, 2016) "The announcement of a new initiative to offer online [[cognitive behavioral therapy |Cognitive Behavioural Therapy]] to teenage suffers of ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, has re-opened debate about whether ME is a mental illness." '''Children with ME need relevant science, not pressure to do more, more, more'''<ref>{{citation |last = Horner | first = Scott Jenny | date = 24 January 2017 | title = Children with ME need relevant science, not pressure to do more, more, more|url= https://thebristolcable.org/2017/01/children-with-me-need-relevant-science-not-pressure-to-do-more-more-more/|newspaper= The Bristol Cable|location= London|access-date= }}</ref> ''The Bristol Cable'' By: Jenny Horner. (Jan 24, 2017) "In November, Bristol University made national headlines for a Β£1m trial attempting to treat child ME sufferers using a specific form of [[cognitive behavioral therapy|cognitive behaviour therapy]] (CBT) over the internet. In chronic conditions, talking therapies can be useful support for the uncertainty and loss caused by illness. However, CBT is being used differently in ME with a strong agenda to increase activity, without treating the underlying disease. Bristol is also trialling a controversial β[[graded exercise therapy]]β ([[MAGENTA trial]]). As an ME sufferer myself, I am deeply troubled to see the continued use of approaches to treat ME that can harm sick children instead of helping them."
