They offered an extensive, online questionnaire on PEM to ca. 1500 patients. Obviously, the ME/CFS diagnosis was not confirmed by a clinician of...
New study on PEM by the research team of Leonard Jason. I'm sure many on this forum will have filled in the online questionnaire: Abstract...
I don't agree with some of the criticism. The diagnostic criteria seem alright: patients had to meet the Fukuda criteria and Canadian criteria....

Yes. I don't think the CDC symptom inventory (Found here: https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/pdfs/symptom-inventory-questionnaire-508.pdf) has much to do...
Maybe it's a good idea to have a thread where organizers of past millionsmissing events share info and practical tips on how to do it?
If you offer a questionnaire to 69 persons who work at an academic institution, none of them probably has CFS. The term should not have been used...
Couldn't upload the file because it was too large - which is weird cause it's only 34 pages long. But if you go the 'print page' and just...
