I was reading the comments on the Canary film facebook page. This interested me, a user saying that we did not see much change after the Newsweek feature on CFS: https://www.facebook.com/claudia.goodell/posts/10201895784749040
The full Newsweek article from 1990: http://www.newsweek.com/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-205712 (or pdf format at http://www.ncf-net.org/inthenews/NewsweekFeb10.pdf ). I wish they had pictures and tables from the original article included.
I'm very surprised at how sympathetic the article is to us. They covered so many areas, some I had no idea about.
But not much came of it? Does anyone remember this magazine (cover) coming out? It must have helped us in small ways, but did it have a real effect? I am shocked that this was the best selling magazine of the year for Newsweek.
It's depressing, because that article is nearly 25 years old, and current day articles would be about the same. That immune abnormalities have been found, that they are looking into possible retroviruses, that it's hard to get a proper diagnosis, etc.
