No, I am NOT just tired and/or depressed!
This has been sitting in my e-mail box for over a year, but it is an important article for those with CFIDS/ME. Courtesy originally of the National Institutes of Health:
Cognitive deficits in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome compared to those with major depressive disorder and healthy controls.
I sure wish I could take the results of this study and show it to all the doctors who blamed my brain fog on being sad or fatigued, even when I was neither (okay, so I am always at least slightly fatigued, but you get the general idea). I hope that over time more studies are done that legitimize this overwhelming ailment.
