This CBT/GET crap is everywhere now!!! It's been on the MSNBC scroll thing all weekend.....including this morning. Just what I needed to wake up to- "Study suggest Exercise and CBT better for chronic fatigue than taking it easy"
(Could one of these shrinks clarify, when I am laying in bed unable to open my eyes or roll over, feeling close to death, does this qualify as "taking it easy?" I'd really like to know)
Here is the article on CNBC, PLEASE try to register and post a comment.

Wasn't there a post stating that something like 40% of these participants had a BMI of being overweight and also suffering from a diagnosed psychiatric condition??
ETA: Isn't it nice they just used "Chronic Fatigue" I guess we could fight back saying, well hell, chronic fatigue may be improved by exercise as Chronic Fatigue is just a symptom of about a million things, including sitting on your butt all day drinking a case of mountain dew and smoking.
Chronic Fatigue SYNDROME is NOT Chronic Fatigue.
I'm angry now, can you tell. Seriously...........are we back in 1990?? WHY OH WHY is the USA media even picking up this CRAP from the UK when we have real, GROUND breaking, GROUND SHATTERING research into a retrovirus and other immune dysfunction in CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME patients right here in the USA, done by real SCIENTISTS?
No other disease gets treated this way. In how many ways and for how many YEARS are we/have we going to be insulted and marginalized?
Does anyone know if WPI will have a reponse to this study? Or perhaps Dannica Moore (sorry if that is spelled wrong) will go on one of the morning shows to rebuke this study?
