Valuable ME/CFIDS links....
Got this page from Dominique, one of my Facebook friends. This list contains some good reference material:
Medical Information - Rachel's Personal ME/CFS Info
And one article from this list needs to be read by everyone who has gone on or is considering filing for disability:
ME/CFS as a Mitochondrial Disease
When I was forced by my long-term disability insurance company to do a functional capacity physical exercise exam, it was only the one-day type, so they did not see how completely incapacitated I was the following day. I could not even walk without assistance, and the resulting flare was only alleviated by high-dose prednisone. Not an indicator of a healthy and/or malingering person. But of course the insurance company ruled I was not disabled.
