She led the US Women's Soccer team to victory in the 90s; she collapsed on the field; she had CFS.... she could have been the CFS community's Michael J. Fox, I suppose; so could Laura Hillenbrand, the author of Seabiscuit. Anyway, I just saw Michelle Akers on Katie and she looks glowingly healthy. She was helping to promote a movie, I think, about women's sports. I was hoping against hope that she'd mention CFS; she didn't. I googled her and all I could find was that she's coming back to soccer, but the article didn't even mention her health at all. I found an old article saying that she had Epstein Barr... which the article called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome! Maybe that's it then; she never had CFS? I'm happy for anyone who recovers from any chronic health thing, but I admit I'm a bit disappointed she is not going to be a voice for us, and that she isn't a source to share how she got well.
