For those of you who aren't following, I have included a link at the bottom of this blog which pulls the latest news related to CFIDS. Today, there was a profound artical entitled " Scientists Say Chronic Fatigue is Not Sleepiness". Now I know these people mean well, but come on! No wonder so many people think we're bonkers if this passes for news or worse, research. One has to ask, where is our money going to? Sometimes it's a damn shame that CFIDS doesn't kill people because it's the only way to get any research grants. Apparently, diseases that only rob people of their lives are no worse than automobile crash injuries - but at least there are cash payouts to recompense those poor folks. Juries are sympathetic, a tear is wiped out of the corner of the eye after the testimony, and all leave feeling sorry for the poor victim. Now I, like most other CFIDS patients, am no victim, nor do I strive for pity from others, but I understand how Rodney Dangerfield felt. We just don't get any respect! We can only hope more people are reading such insightful articles.
