Has anyone seen this article?

It talks about changing the name of CFS to something more MEDICAL,

something more BELIEVABLE. CFS isn't a believable condition according

to many, it is thought that the person suffering is lazy. When I was

diagnosed with CFS, I was walking four miles a day, eating a reasonable

diet, working 40 hours a week, and more. Does that sound like a lazy

person? I, at this point, feel lucky if I can walk 4 miles a week, and

work from home for nothing right now, because no one would offer me a

job that will let me stay at home.

I haven't seen the article but when I mentioned CFS to my rheum, he

said they are/have come up with another term for it, although he

didn't specify. He did say I am an acute mono sufferer so which one

triggers the flares is anyone's guess.

Yeah, I have heard of that. I just am not sure the general public will have

anymore belief in this damn disease or not. It is worth a try though if they

want to change the name. I believe that in Britain the name has already been

ME.
