Miss diagnosis is a major problem with ME as GPs are ill informed and prevented from providing suitable testing, Which does exist.
It seems highly likely that the sufferer actually had post natal depression a suitable case for LP. However ME is a neuroimmune disease caused by demonstrable biological issues.
The treatment of ME by such snake oil as the LP is very dangerous to genuine patients.
