Why PACE is NOT the final frontier....
Got the link to this excellent article from Dominique, one of my Facebook friends. It's about how a recent study on CFIDS may do more harm than good:
PACE Study May As Well Say Cancer Is All In Your Mind
Believe me, many in the psychology community were already convinced that CFIDS is nothing more than a convoluted somatoform disorder. For every supposedly scientific study that suggests exercise, I want to add in capital letters the term "TO TOLERANCE". For a person who is bedridden, their tolerance level might be limited to lifting their limbs from the bed, or maybe even less than that.
The day when CFIDS is easily diagnosable through standardized testing cannot come soon enough.
