Please correct me if I'm wrong, but how can she get away with entitling the study 'the Natural Course of CFS/ME in Adolescents, but later confirms that the term 'chronic disabling fatigue' is better suited as 'CFS/ME' was not verified by clinical diagnosis.
It's either about CFS/ME patients or it's not. You can't have a mixed bag and then claim 75% of adolescents recover after 2-3 years. I'm not disputing that the rate of recovery for adolescents is far better than for adults, but yet again another poorly designed longitudinal study does not support this yet.
I'm utterly embarrassed to live in the UK when this BPS nonsense is being published.
