ACT: CFS/ME in the Catalan Parliament, Again!

This last week (Oct 8, 2009) we went to the Catalan Parliament to
put in evidence the fact that they are not putting in place the
Resolution 203/VIII voted on May 21, 2008, which was supposed to
assure proper medical services to CFS/ME and FMS patients in
Catalonia. My intervention (I am the blonde one) was concerning point
5 of the Resolution which was to assure proper training for doctors
in Catalonia, but a 20 page analysis, on our part, shows that they
are being taught that CFS/ME and FMS are of psychological etiology
and that they recommend antidepressents and medications which are
banned in Europe for these illnesses (such as Pfizer's Lyrica):
