I haven't looked at the eMedicine definition of Chronic Fatigue Syndromei [1] for a while. Low and behold, they actually said this in the first definitional paragraph:
Really! Go see for yourself. They even mention Chlamydia pneumoniae in the article. As one of the potential causes for CFS. I just about fell out of my computer chair. eMedicine is considered a "standard of care" reference, so this is a big deal. Their lit review on the immunei [3] and other abnormalities in CFS is also quite good.

interesting they mention
interesting they mention CPni [5], unfortunately the treatment is 3 weeks of doxyi [9] & all better! I also wondered about their philosophy that FMSi [7] & CFSi [6] are "rarely" seen together. That means I am a rare bird!!
They have moved over to the right direction. The times they are a changing Martha!

I thought this was excellent description/medical defintion and thank you for posting it. It is good to see a proper definition/description, as they are often very vague mumbles about tiredness - or else very abstract medical jargonese. Thanks.

It really is pretty good. I
It really is pretty good. I like the fact that post-exertional malaise is mentioned.
I hope the 'double cardiac capacity [17]' test catches on. It could provide a good way to measure the impact of the disease. Not wonderful for the testee, but pretty conclusive.

Finally!! This is well written/defined. But they have a way to go with regard to how to treat CPNi [5]. Also interesting the author, Burke A Cunha, MD, MACP, is a board member of the Infectious Diseasesi [19] Society of America... think it'll help??? Hope so.
