Re: CFS Joke on TV

[Guest guest]

It's so easy to poke fun at something that's not understood by the

public... or the medical establishment as well. I did email a comment

abou this to the tv show. I never watched this show in the past and

now I definitely won't.

I have often thought this too. However, I am afraid of a talk show being done on

CFS before they change the name of this illness. Can't you just see it...every

single person who is ever tired a lot will think they have it? The name really

needs to go because there is a definate distinction between having Chronic

Fatigue and having Chronic fatique syndrome. I guess some could argue that a

talk show could help people realize this, however, I have noticed in my own life

that people only hear what they want to hear and I would be affraid that that a

talk show would do us more of a disservice than a service. It's a shame but this

does scare me!

seen MS, Lupus, and other diseases presented but never CFS.
