    Characterization of Post–exertional Malaise in Patients With Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (2020) Stussman, Nath et al.

    Why word it this way? Why not title it "NIH details patients' experiences with post exertional malaise in ME/CFS"? Perhaps more to the point, why are they still tackling definitions at this stage of the game? Shouldn't they be talking about whether ME/CFS is an immune dysfunction, or...
