CFS was replaced with Fibromyalgia and Fibromyalgia has been replaced with Chronic Lyme disease.
As for CFS, I await clear biological evidence it exists. Point to a microbe, an invading cell or other biological unit. To me, the very word “syndrome” connotes inexactness and lays the foundation for all sorts of manipulation that has no connection with the “syndrome,” frankly.
And the CDC refuses to acknowledge Chronic Lyme in any significant way. I know because I have it. I was, however, fortunate enough to have a good lab test. Most of the testing is inconclusive at best. It is way more prevalent than Zyka and is passed along in much the same ways.
I am beginnng to think that Lupus is the same story.
I prefer the umbrella term hypochondria.
“CFS was replaced with Fibromyalgia and Fibromyalgia has been replaced with Chronic Lyme disease.”
There has been no such successive “replacement” of CFS as you describe.
These are three distinct medical conditions which any sincere person can research on Wiki.
CFS was replaced with Fibromyalgia and Fibromyalgia has been replaced with Chronic Lyme disease.
When medical experts are baffled, they call it CFS, Fibromyalgia etc. Who knows what will be the next new ailment.
In the meantime, my hair has fallen out, I have constant ANA (inflammation) positive blood results, tired, weak, joint aches. Mind you, 10 years ago I would be gardening, camping, hiking or fishing like there was no tomorrow. Now I sit here, doing nothing.
we NEED to have an all encompassing diagnosis to feel empowered...
