I was told about this group today:
Quite a few of the names are familiar from CFS researchThe multidisciplinary European Research Association for Somatisation and Medically Unexplained Symptoms (EURASMUS) was formed to study the genetic, psychological and physiological mechanisms underlying bodily distress.
The research focuses on several biological and psychological processes that occur across all types of bodily distress, e.g.:
- heightened sensitivity to pain
- tendency to experience and worry about numerous bodily symptoms
- marked fatigue
