I used to read full papers voraciously and wrote over 100 e-letters along with getting some letters published. Following a discussion about risk factors for CFS today, I was reminded of the following in response to some spin in a paper by Peter White et al. =========...

Abstract Fatigue is a common reason that patients seek medical care. Only a fraction of these patients meet criteria for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). To determine if ME/CFS is just a more extreme form of fatigue, or a qualitatively different condition, we...
