Speculations about the genetics of ME/CFS and DecodeME

PD patients tend to be older adults who lived full lives prior to being struck down by a well-accepted neurodegenerative disease. Lack of stigma and impending death means there’s little incentive to waste precious remaining life years on futile discussions about biology. ME strikes people in the prime of life with peak onsets being teenage years and another around 30. With 50-60 years left of life, it’s hard to not show any intellectual curiosity about the thing that’s keeping you bed/house/wheelchair bound for that long.
