Failed by the NHS on chronic fatigue illness | Letters

The article discusses the challenges faced by Patrick Barkham and his daughter Milly in navigating the healthcare system for her chronic fatigue illness. Barkham feels guilty, but the article states that the NHS has failed them. The absence of clear explanations and effective solutions from the NHS has led the family to explore alternative, for-profit medical options. However, the article notes that there is no reliable evidence linking Milly's symptoms to a chronic Borrelia infection, and the effectiveness of long-term antibiotics has not been demonstrated. The article emphasizes the need for the NHS to provide better support and solutions for patients with chronic fatigue illnesses.
