ME/CFS experts across Europe were asked what they think family doctors know about ME/CFS and how to help them understand it better. The experts reported serious concerns: about 60% of ME/CFS patients go undiagnosed because family doctors lack knowledge about the condition, don't believe it's real, or don't know how to manage it. Most experts agreed that better training for doctors at all levels would help.
