Have any of you read the Wikipedia article for ME? This thing needs SERIOUS editing of misleading information. I can't imagine how many people might have heard about ME, then googled it and went to the Wikipedia page. No wonder there's so much misconception!
I've copied and pasted just some areas of concern. My comments are in red.
#1
Chronic fatigue syndrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Myalgic encefalomyelitis)
Note that the article is not only under "Chronic fatigue syndrome", but encephalomyelitis is misspelled. I think the article should be under Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, with the term "chronic fatigue syndrome" redirecting to it.
#2
"Evidence suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy and a gradual increase in activity suited to individual capacity can be beneficial in some cases.[5][6] In a systematic review of exercise therapy, no evidence of serious adverse effects was found; however data was insufficient to form a conclusion.[6]"
This is at the top! 3rd paragraph down.
#3 Below is part of the contents section:
5 Management
See "5 Management" - CBT & Exercise are the first listed treatments. Medication section needs to include a lot more, and should (imho) be listed at the top.
#4
"Cognitive behavioral therapy[edit]
In 2017, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that speaking with a therapist may help.[86] "
This is the first sentence! Really?
Is anyone here willing/able to edit this? We can post revision suggestions below. My wiki editing skills aren't good. If we could work as a team, maybe we could get it done more quickly and easily.
