Some healthcare practitioners in the US would still implement [[Exercise]] therapies and refer patients to psychiatrists even though the IOMR did not recommend these as forms of treatment. *July 3, 2017, the CDC's Chronic Fatigue Syndrome page has been changed to "Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)" and [[graded exercise therapy]] (GET) and [[cognitive behavioral therapy]] (CBT) recommendations have been removed.<ref>[http://www.virology.ws/2017/07/10/trial-by-error-the-cdc-drops-cbtget/ Trial By Error: The CDC Drops CBT/GET - Virology Blog]</ref><ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/index.html Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - CDC.gov]</ref> * Jul 12, 2018, the CDC updated its website's ME/CFS page for [https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/healthcare-providers/index.html Healthcare Practitioners].<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2018/a0712-new-website-me-cfs.html New ME/CFS Web Content for Healthcare Providers - CDC - Jul 12, 2018]</ref> :'''MEAction input''' :*Jul 29, 2018, [https://www.meaction.net/2018/07/29/cdc-revises-its-information-on-me/#comment-56411 CDC Revises its Information on ME] #[[MEAction]] report on the CDC July 2017 and July 2018 website updates.
