- Unlocking Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by Amy Docker Marcus (our best friend in the media), published in the Wall Street Journal on May 22. This article gives an overview of ME/CFS research like you've never read in the newspaper before: heavily focused on real science, possible infectious agents, and new studies.
- Wall Street Journal's Health Blog, also on May 22: The Hunt for the Biological Causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by Katherine Hobson. This brief blog post is mostly focused on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) upcoming conference on ME/CFS April 7 - 8, including 100 scientists, but it also references Amy Docker Marcus' article, above.
- Scientists Seeking Biological Causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, published on May 22 on the Fox News website. Although this is essentially a reprint of Marcus' WSJ article (above), I thought it was significant that Fox News covered it as well.
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.
