I've upvoted it.

It seems so archaic and superstitious for anyone to believe that any disease can be isolated to an emotional/psychological cause.

Even stress induced conditions can be traced to physiological changes.

Redditors please consider upvoting this post of mine about wishing the world understood ME/CFS was a physical illness. Also consider upvoting the thread itself as this helps generate more interest.

:)

Excellent post! I just joined Reddit to try to upvote, but can't figure out how to do it! I don't see a link anywhere, just things that say "permalink, embed, save, etc.", but nowhere to upvote. TBH, I find Reddit very confusing to navigate ....

Thank you! I never would have figured that out on my own :confused:
