I recently came across these articles and wanted to share with those who suffer with ME/CFS (or Fibromyalgia as these two disorders are similar).

This sounds like a game changer for those doctors, including Rheumatologists, who are still skeptical of the existence of Fibro/ME/CFS.
Thanks for the information.

2 ReactionsHi @lk194, I would like to add my welcome along with @vellen, @erythromelalgiaca and others. I thought I would share the links to the articles you referenced in case others have not read them.

5 ReactionsTop of the morning to you too! Heidi. New users are prevented from sharing links for a short period of time (not sure how long) to prevent spammers from joining and posting advertising and other spamming. @1k194 joined June 18th so hopefully will be able to share links soon.

@johnbishop Thanks for posting those direct links. Hopefully we will be able to do this in the future or have a holding area with the mods able to check then release or delete. There is so much useful information to share .

3 ReactionsI just post the headline of the article and ofc it can help to specify if it's Mayo, Stanford, or other site.
I don't understand the SLA question.

2 ReactionsSLA, I've learned something new. Thanks.
I don't tend to post screen shots only because they're hard to read from my phone. Of course seeing it means I can search it up myself 😺

Pssst ... if it listed the waiting time, a spammer would join and wait and then let the good times roll. This way is the only way to keep them guessing and off of Connect (IMHO). 🙊🙈🙉😁 It takes a village to keep those turkeys off of Connect and our members safe from all of the garbage posts.
1k194, Thank you for this. Yes, they are very much alike. Usually, if you have one....you have the other. Fibro is more pain & fatigue & ME is debilitating fatigue. Do you have these? Blessings.....
