Dr. Austin Darragh to give free talk on M.E. in Dublin, Ireland

[Guest guest]

Dr. Austin Darragh is one of maybe only a handful of doctors at consultant

level in Ireland who are interested in treating patients (with drugs,

supplements, etc.) (as opposed to just management strategies, or just

diagnosing people and washing their hands of them).

Some people may have seen his name on the International Clinical Criteria

for M.E. (Carruthers et al., 2011) but not heard about him before.

Tests he sometimes runs include thyroid function, adrenal function, " female "

and " male " hormones (Oestradiol, Progesterone, testosterone, etc.), immune

testing, etc.

Anyway, the Irish ME/CFS Association have arranged for him to give a free

talk in Dublin, Ireland on May 26. Details at:
