If you have trouble with the link, here it is again. I couldn't get to it through the post, but it may be my computer: http://coalition4mecfs.org/Coalition_s_Letter_to_PhysiciansFinal-Website.pdf

I haven't read this yet. So what is the idea, we should send this to our treating Drs?

Yes, if you agree with it. They can take the sample and send it in with their signature or contact Coalition members saying they want their signature added to the group letter.

Tina, as there are now multiple threads on the C4 initiative and information and discussion is becoming fragmented across several threads, could consideration be given to adding a link for this new C4 document to the original C4 coding initiative thread, please?

Article: Coalition4ME/CFS Pushes For CFS Be Classified as Neurological Disorder Before Governmental Body

ETA: Tina, do you know whether a .doc version of this letter is available as the PDF maker used to create the file does not appear to faciliate copy and paste from the text, which makes the document difficult to quote extracts from if commenting on and the PDF may be too large to attach to a post (I've just tried and it would not upload)?

Thanks
Suzy
