Hospitalisation & Anaesthesia
Supporting people with ME/CFS in hospital - an important new resource produced by a group of ME charities.
Responding to requests for advocacy support from people with ME/CFS in hospital, including those more severely affected, this is designed to help patients, carers and family members advocate for their needs, choosing which sections of the resource they would like to share with the health professional treating them.

There is also a (much longer) hospital booklet prepared by the Grace Charity for ME. This includes many references in support of the statements, should these be needed in making your case.
ME/CFS and anaesthesia is the ME Association's new information leaflet covering all aspects of anaesthesia if you have to go to hospital for a surgical procedure, produced in co-operation with the Royal College of Anaesthetists
AMMES (the American ME and CFS Society) Recommendations for anaesthesia for ME patients could also be helpful information for your health professionals. This has been described as 'well documented, clear and reasoned advice'.
