Interesting. Do you have a particular interest in CFS George? |

No, and I've followed it only peripherally. In my specialty, we didn't see much of it, and it really didn't affect how we treated patients. However, generally speaking, people with CFS were treated with a bit of disdain ("C'mon, I'm tired all the time too!"). As the article says, "But for decades, researchers have struggled to find an underlying cause, leading to an assumption by many doctors that it's 'not a real disease'." |

Yes I came across some of that. Though by the early 2000s in England at least there was official recognition it was real even if the mechanisms were not understood. |

That's exactly what I was thinking. THere's a certain population (young-ish, female, slender) that seems to have a predisposition to fibromyalgia. I wonder if this will be shown to have a real basis as well. |

Not sure. But anyone I've ever met that supposedly suffered from fibromyalgia either couldn't hold a job, didn't like their job or had a history of not getting along with their neighbours. In a few, a combination of or all three characteristics were present. |
