This looks intriguing just from reading what is here but haven’t the function to look at paper yet.

I wasn’t aware medics would think cfs was a likely comorbid diagnosis

although from a personal perspective I wouldn’t be surprised historically in the Uk if that was a dumping pot first in the past (I say but not sure of the will to change from using ‘any old MUS type name like cfs’ and really just mean the shimmy definition of fatigue they infer is tackleable with healthy peoples self-help that is counter productive for ME/CFS)

I don’t know about Saudi Arabia or if the sample were all diagnosed with cfs there.

I would be interested if this is flagging how poor the conceptualisation of fatigue that has been perhaps attached to eg old cfs ideas and other Mus stuff is getting noticed from other angles for its ‘poor fit/usefulness’

 

"CDC-SI/Fukuda 1994 criteria"

So just fatigue then not CFS by the more modern meaning.
