John, there are already two established threads on DSM-5 on this forum and a new awareness raising thread, recently started; also a Front Page posting and related thread started by Cort, when he posted the "Call to Action" by the Coalition4ME/CFS on 2 June.

Can I suggest that you consider moving your post under one of the existing threads?

Thanks,

Suzy

Hi Suzy, I think I have got this in a better place now. If you would prefer it anywhere else and/or on your site, I am quite happy for you or anyone else to move it and delete duplicates if that makes it easier. Best wiahes John
