Just my personal opinion, but I'm glad to see some starting to use the term "ME/SEID."
"SEID" may not be perfect, but I would much rather have a debate over which term is more productive, "ME" or "SEID," than to miss this opportunity to give "CFS" the old heave-ho.
Yes, the report says that both "ME" and "CFS" are inappropriate, but, to me, "ME" is now just shorthand for the CCC/ICC definitions, whatever their cause.
In my view (and maybe only in my view), "ME/SEID" simply says that "SEID" is certainly better than "CFS," but we're not convinced that SEID is a better definition than CCC/ICC ME.
Sure, the IOM may not like "ME," but the common usage of something like "ME/SEID" can keep ME in the game while, at the same time, moving the fight distinctly forward by saying aloha to "CFS."
