I said Chronic Fatigue not CFS. If studies use overly broad criteria that include anyone who is tired then it compromises the validity of those trials. The name CFS is too easily conflated with fatigue as you have just demonstrated.Can you please explain the difference between ME and CFS? Are there different diagnostic tests? Different treatments? Different ICD10 codes?
I believe that true ME should be defined as those who have an adverse reaction to exercise or exertion.
I agree, even with strict criteria ME is not one illness.Certainly though we may find in future that ME/CFS has subsets with different disease pathophysiologies.
