From the slide you posted, it listed housing, education, financial pressures, relationships, substance abuse and crime. Is her point that if you are homeless, uneducated, impoverished, alone/or in abusive relationships, have a substance abuse issue and have committed a crime you are more likely to come down with ME/CFS? I have my own bias, but if that is indeed what Prof Crawley is proposing, she is not seeing reality.
First off our experience personally, our time at Dr Lerner's clinic and from what I read on this forum, none of the above applies. If anything, I would categorize those I have had contact with as being smarter than average, middle income or better when they came down with the disease, equally engaged in productive relationships as compared to the world at large, less than average issues with substance abuse and certainly rarely criminal.
Secondly many of the people who suffer from ME/CFS contracted as children/in their youth. That naturally eliminates many of the issues identified including crime, substance abuse, uneducated, but does leave the door open to discuss being impoverished, homeless and in abusive relationships. None of those applied in our case when our child contracted ME/CFS at the age of 14.
The people that keep looking at psychological, environmental and socialogical causes, when there is overwhelming evidence this is physiological. It is the very definition of moronic no matter how "educated" they are!.
