I understood your intended meaning just as you describe it here in greater detail. I'm not sure if I'd describe my PEM trigger warning as purely...
The definition of cohorts is not predicated on the name, as we have seen modified cohort definitions for both CFS definitions and ME definitions....
And we could counter with similar examples of ME being described as the disease of believing one has ME, which equally few would agree with. Some...
I profoundly hope that is correct. Bill
But malaria is a term from the early nineteenth century. One would hope science has advanced since then and using a pseudoscientific name like ME...
Early in my disease, I suppose I fell into both these subtypes. Feverish symptoms were ever present initially. My glans were swollen, tender, and...
There was no evidence for your case in the linked article. Bill
If you are accusing me of an alignment with rationality, I plead guilty :D I don't agree that CFS was designed to obfuscate the disease. Granted...
Neutral doctors (and many patients) don't favor the name myalgic encephalomyelitis because there is no evidence that the disease is caused by...
I'm not persuaded that because fatigue may be a symptom of other illnesses that for that reason it should be ignored as a major component of ours....
I figure it is doctors and medical scientists who hold the keys to discovering what causes this illness and how to cure it. So I care very much...

No, it's because myalgic encephalomyelitis really is a pseudoscientific name that demeans us far more than CFS does. We are supposed to be a...
I'm finding it increasingly bizarre to read that some folks don't consider fatigue to be a major component of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. And as to...
Sorry, but I think the quiz perpetuates its own falsehoods and unproven assumptions. Bill
Good to know that not all therapists are acting as if we are suffering from psychosomatic illness. I happen to think that the...
If we are to be a community based on members having voting rights, I can't think of a better first measure. I'd expect near unanimity in the...
In turn, you are fortunate to have days where you don't experience fatigue. Out of my last 12,401 (or so) days with CFS, I've had less than a...
Correct me if I'm wrong @Barry (or others) but it has been my impression, across the pond, that CBT in the UK has also had a primary purpose in...
Seems like an argument over semantics. Being aware that one has a "small energy envelop" through the body's expression of fatigue is the most...
Separate names with a comma.
