Adolescent’s descriptions of fatigue, fluctuation and payback in CFS/ME: interviews with adolescents and parents, 2018, Crawley et al

Unfortunately there is no biological or objective evidence/research mentioned here either.

I didn't come across anything that suggests the authors weren't anything other than sympathetic in how they presented their findings.
However I'm not sure sceptic would find the results that interesting.
And I think if one was so inclined, one might think that a lot of the impairment was down to mood and adolescents not doing things for no particular reason.

 

There may be some value in the paper in terms of the particular wordings adolescents and/or their parents used to describe symptoms, their impairments, etc.

Two quotes I highlighted to myself were

But I'm not sure they or other quotes are that interesting so I'm not sure I'm going to spend time highlighting them.

So overall I found it a bit bland.

Yes, it' s the go- to for sleep and pain. The only prescription our paediatrician would countenance.
Lots of kids on this .

 

My concerns were what effect it would have on a developing brain . I could not find any info re testing on children.
