       Clues to a better understanding of chronic fatigue syndrome
       emerge from major study

       This is very exciting and hopeful!  I hope this study means
       there will be many more studies to come.  I have hoped that the
       similarities with long Covid would reinvigorate research into
       ME/CFS, and maybe that is happening now.  It would be really
       nice to end the no treatment available shoulder shrugging "its
       all in your head" attitude toward ME/CFS and finally have an
       effective treatment.
       For me, it has been 38 years of occasional relapses, and the
       relapses are more frequent as I age - plus the knowledge that
       now, if I push myself too hard, I will relapse, which just
       sucks.

       And the paper they cited:

       What if ME/CFS patients no longer had to accept these mental and
       physical limitations?

       Great news!
       I used to work in the disability insurance biz, and I was
       appalled at the number of claims workers who didn't really
       believe it was real. There are other illnesses and modalities
       that face similar disdain. I had a heck of a time when I was
       suffering from undiagnosed hypothyroid. We as a society need to
       grow up, believe people about their own bodies, and develop some
       empathy.
