Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

I say this with kindness.
Whilst i applaud u for at least attempting to cover a neurological illness on your show, However i find it hard to take this seriously when cfs is mentioned as a disease entity.
I would ask the person who wrote the piece to please hear the very very basic info that M.E. is not cfs, and that advertising so does so much harm and contributes to the ignorance and pain you speaking of!
M.E. is an acquired neurological disease., similar to M.S. - You do not even have to have fatigue as a symptom!
I would implore you to read the following articles

And
