ME/CFS Makes Medscape's Top Ten Clinical Trends of 2017

Whoa - word is definitely getting around.

Basically Medscape looking at what stirred up interest in the medical field in 2017. What should make the top ten but horribly underfunded ME/CFS. NIH and CDC funders take note - the public and the medical field apparently is very interested in this disease - you are lagging behind!

ME/CFS shared the top ten with RA, Parkinson's, pancreatic cancer, appendicitis and others.

ME/CFS patients can pat themselves on the back as well by being so involved in searching out the news as well - thus bumping up traffic. I can't imagine there's are more well educated or involved illness community out there.
