Not sure where to post this (tried to find a thread which referred to it), but have just belatedly read this old post by @Angela Kennedy saying that the PACE cohort excluded people with swollen lymph glands. I know the cohort was not a good representation of ME/CFS sufferers, but this seems an extraordinary exclusion, especially in view of this (small) poll which found 70% of respondents having swollen neck lymph nodes.

Surely most of us do have this symptom?

Apologies if this has already been dealt with ad nauseam and is very old news!
