Stop Press!! M.E. Not all in the mind.

Wow. What a revelation. Scientists have discovered that M.E ( Or chronic fatigue syndrome if you like) has a physical cause and is not all in the mind. Well well well. Who’d have thought it. Not all the hundreds of thousands suffering every day.

“some people do suggest that ME is a disease of the mind and here we are showing that it is a disease of the body.”

Bloody doctors. Unless they have a machine that goes ping or a chart that goes off the scale they don’t believe the patient. Even if the patient cannot walk up their own stairs.

Not that I’d know or anything….I only spent 5 years telling the well qualified but tone deaf doctors the same thing.

They need to take those blinkin’ stethoscopes out of their lugholes and use their ears properly.

Here’s to hoping the new research moves us closer to some sort of cure or answer. Personally I ended up taking industrial doses of echinacea. I -thought- that would do the trick, and eventually it did, thank god.

    any good doctor should be a good listener, but these days it seems they are training them to be pill dispensing machines… shame
