ME/CFS Myaglic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not a rare disease. There are over a million persons with that illness in the US. Maybe even 2 million. While you never specifically called it that in this interesting article, I just want to make sure that is clear. Yes, ME/CFS has done remarkable work in the last few years to make this illness and its devastating symptoms vocal. But not nearly enough. Our struggle for awareness still goes on and on. Getting appropriate funding from NIH for basic research — NO! NIH under-funds diseases that are primarily and solely women’s illnesses. See MEAction.net for more info about ME/CFS. Thanks for your informative article.
