For those who don't feel up to reading the whole report, and/or who have trouble watching long videos, here are some other documents from the IOM report web page (http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2015/ME-CFS.aspx ).

* MECFS_Powerpoint.pdf - Slide show presentation, 51 pages
(I'm guessing this was used in the video? I could not watch that whole video)

* MECFS_ReportBrief.pdf - Summary, 4 pages

* MECFS_KeyFacts.pdf - Key facts, 2 pages

There are also links to these two images (copied here for convenience):

Edit - maybe I should have used thumbnails for the images -- sorry if they are too big.
