Severe


Tour de force of information.
Measuring the severe because they cannot get into clinics is a problem and not funding Ron Davis researching this group makes a bigger problem. A signal was sent for other researchers when one with such a reputation was publicly refused funding.
Defining a separate spectrum of ME versus CFS as Leonard Jason suggests is deja vu all over again with how the waters were muddied with the Oxford Criteria research applied in treating ME ( CG93.3 ) a neurological illness.
Simplifying a complex disease boundaries is ok for researchers and useless for clinical settings that let people fall through the cracks.
Most important time for getting treatment is the first three years and very few have a diagnosis until things have gone wrong obviously later than ideal.
Taking a CFS group and treating as the same until they develop full blown ME is harmful for patients and health service budgets.
