“Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”=a gold mine for Rat Party donors working as “disability” lawyers.Kinda like chronic back pain and “anxiety disorders”.

[petercooper]

Another made up “disease.”

Another good news/bad news story for the “Rodney Dangerfield” diagnosis of debilitating conditions: ME/CFS.

The good news is that another reputable university, Stanford, publishes a finding of a preliminary new medical basis for ME/CFS.

The bad news is that the finding is evidence of permanent brain damage! Oh joy!

This is just one more study to add to the pile of previous studies ignored by the US government and the insurance industry who are furiously attempting to evade paying claims to disabled persons rendered incapacitated by ME/CFS until and unless the lawyers of the disabled fill out all the forms and court appeals properly.

Uh, it's real.

After visiting Reno in 1988, I developed CFS. Reno was then a CFS hotspot. I did not want to be sick. I was employed and not looking to do anything but pay my own way, which I continued to do. My doctor found all sorts of viral stuff in my blood tests--fortunately, he believed me.

Once, on a trip to Baltimore, I fell asleep in a noisy room full of relatives of a friend. I was not drinking or taking any medications, and it was the middle of the day with bright sunshine. These people were strangers to me. I could fall asleep anywhere, anytime.

Fortunately, the condition was not permanent, to my great relief.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome = extreme laziness.
Fibromyalgia = extreme selfishness.
Foreign Accent Syndrome = extreme need for attention.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder = see above.

May all those crying BS never never have to deal with this. I have lived every nightmare medical scenario trying to figure out what was and is happening to me for the last 15 years. It’s a nightmare you cannot get away from.

"Why are you so tired?"

" Because I have such a huge brain."

[newfreep]

I was going to read the full article but was just too tired...

>> people with the disorder, one neural tract in the white matter of the right hemisphere appeared to be abnormally shaped

Consequence or cause?

I wonder if any studies have been conducted within environments that have modified days cycles; e.g., 32 hour day instead of the normal 24 hour day. Could be a challenge for the technicians.
