I do not agree that chronic fatigue and ME are the same. Chronic fatigue is chronic fatigue.. It is unreliable to state that ME is just fatigue as other diseases also give you chronic fatigue. Chronic fatigue is not exclusive to ME. . Why use this one symptom to define what ME is when you also have some equally distressing symptoms such as poor memory terrible concentration and generally feel diabolically ill... Esther crawley who did this research along with a psychiatrist from Kings collage London are CLAIMIN ME is just fatigue requiring psychological therapies such as graded exercise ,cognitive behaviour therapy and the lightning process on ME patients . Many people who have tried these therapies have found that they make their ME worse. Esther Crawley can only claim that these therapies are moderately affective so far from a cure .Also Esther and the prominent psychiatrist from Kings collage London have come out in the media attacking very ill powerless ME patients as nasty vile abusive and dangerous . These are people who demand respect yet show little respect for the people they claim to care about.
