prognosis

  • extremely variable

  • is estimated that 1 in 4 adults diagnosed with ME/CFS are so severely affected that they are house-bound or bed-bound, with little functional capacity, needing 24-hour care (1)
    • this can last for months or years. In rare cases, the outcome has been fatal

Reference:

  • GOV.UK (August 2023). My full reality: the interim delivery plan on ME/CFS.
