There were multiple and varied ways participants described self-managing their condition, from consuming medical information and advocating for themselves to adhering to treatments that do not always offer relief. Participants also shared the additional challenge they faced in self-managing their condition within a system that challenged or contested their diagnosis. This sentiment of navigating one’s condition amidst doubts about authenticity has been reported in individuals with ME/CFS [43–47].
