Thanks !
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of, and finding treatments for, complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

I've looked around the site but am not finding discussion on this, if it has been raised elsewhere please
point me in the right direction.
Any evidence from our group and their families that this condition can be transmitted to children or spouse? I wasn't aware of the possibility until I read on this site in the past week about epidemics of CFS.
Now I'm scared to even hug my kids much less get close to my partner...thanks for any thoughts on this.
E.g. if there were some unexpected rates of diagnosis of ME CFS (or a CFS like illness) appearing in family members years after the person with ME CFS was first diagnosed. Does that happen? I imagine we only have anecdotal reports at best.

In this long thread, some discussion on page 15. I did not look beyond page 15. http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/is-it-a-new-disease-or-its-cfs.19062/page-15
This disease mostly affects lower middle class. It's a disease that is triggered by stress over money/ambitions. That means no, no celebrity is infected...Does anyone know if any public figures who have been diagnosed that have gone public with the illness have been contacted ?
It would need to be someone that carried the kind of name and fame that the media would HAVE to put this illness in the news,
and help the pressure group's to really push the MPs to call for more govenment funding.
This should happen in all countries, and i suppose that would take a lot of work, but im sure it could be achieved.

Could it be triggered by stress?ME is not a disease triggered by stress over money/ambitions.
Trauma is different from stress. If you are equating the two, are you asking if psychological stress can cause ME.Emotional trauma
None of the above has any evidence. It is not a "lower middle class" illness and celebrities do have it. We even have a thread on that topic.This disease mostly affects lower middle class. It's a disease that is triggered by stress over money/ambitions. That means no, no celebrity is infected...

If they are in the lower income brackets, it is because they have ME/CFS and can't work! Probably the majority of members here used to function in a professional capacity in their careers of choice.That's not to say the the majority of people with ME are in the lower income brackets
