It seems to me entirely right to move attention from occasional outbreaks of nobody knows what, to ME/CFS as a not uncommon disorder that seems...
In a review in 1991 Peterson dates the outbreaks that led to the CFS term from 1984 so maybe Strain has just misremembered the date of the...
I don't see that. It seems quite cogent. It may miss the point that within idiopathic fatiguing illness there may be several usefully separable...
I find it hard to take this seriously. Why would a piece like this have 14 authors scattered across the globe if they were not all chums of the...

Yes one is a concept based on an idea of what causes the problem the other is a concept based on a problem needing a cause. Quite different...
As I understand it the symptoms are not similar. I think patients get into thinking that if two diseases include headache or shortness of breath...
I think it is interesting to see this sort of attempt to invoke trauma for a condition for which trauma as a cause is inherently very implausible....
On the face of it this looks like unhelpful perpetuation of exactly the thing she is complaining about. Let me try some answers: When did ME...
Discussion moved from the Long Covid in the media thread Has this Guardian article been posted? Alarm after EHRC says long Covid should not be...
