Is "goodpasture syndrome" a part of ME/CFS?

[SWAlexander]

A person I know was diagnosed with Goodpasture syndrome (10 years ago) after a viral infection.
His case became a medical emergency and he was transported by Helicopter to a specialty clinic.
He doesn´t remember the medication he was given, but he remembers receiving dialysis in addition to the meds.
His kidneys were failing and his muscles were partially too weak to stand up. After about 6 weeks he began slowly to recuperate and 6 months later back to work.
At this time the Dr's believed the viral infection triggered an underlining metal poiseing.

You can get a hair mineral test. Mine didn't show much in the way of metal poisoning, just the usual deficiencies and imbalance that many see with ME/CFS, but this is at least a testable thing.

Doesn't look like it.

Thanks. I read this before. My question was could it be a part of ME/CFS.
This man is now 60 yo and has had muscle weakness since and no dr can find a reason.

Probably not. The symptoms sound very different and muscle weakness can have many different causes. Everything a doctor can't figure out isn't ME/CFS.
