Wow, I forgot that they had to go and label CFS as myalgic encephalomyelitis. Must be that cold I am getting over.... I mean my sinupharyngopulmonitis.
Easily my least favorite patients to encounter. I had someone with CFS tell me last week that 'doing the dishes' should be considered exercise, that doing so depletes all her energy and then subsequently she needs to sleep for 14 hours. Towards the end of a totally unproductive and long-winded visit full of tears, she of course perks up and hands some disability forms to my attention (as is tradition)
The worst thing about this is that they cause people who go to work and generally live regular lives but still live in a state of chronic and unexplained fatigue to be ignored and written off.
