A possible long-term effect of ME....
Thought this was very interesting. Got it from a fibromyalgia Facebook page:
ME/CFS associated with later life non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Medicare statistics
Autoimmune diseases with a higher incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma include Sjogren's syndrome (40 times greater) and celiac disease. I happen to have all three. A biopsy in 2005 of one of my lymph nodes revealed abnormal cell development. While it was not lymphoma, it could be described as pre-cancerous. It's something my doctors are keeping an eye on. So far, so good.
