A friend saw this on CNN:

LOMITA, Calif., Sept. 14 — Enterovirus, a common pathogen that can cause acute respiratory or gastrointestinal infections, may be a factor in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, according to researchers [at MedPage Today].

Action Points

• Explain to interested patients that this study suggested a link between a common viral infection and chronic fatigue syndrome but the finding requires confirmation.
• Explain to patients that no microbiologic cause of chronic fatigue syndrome has been established definitively.

CFIDS/CFS/ME is an illness of misnomers. Even the name is undecided. When you state you have an illness called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome its immediately misunderstood.

Here’s an easy way to override the confusing nature of the illness:

“I have an illness called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Have you heard of it? Its like having the flu and waking up from anesthesia at the same time, 24/7/365. CFS is a debilitating, life-altering disease. If you would like to know more check out our association website at www.houstoncfids.org”

Until I see you all again remember “life may have its ups and downs with dreams on either side so take each day and live it well and just enjoy the ride”Jane Mostowitz, President
