In my three plus decades as a physician I have always been a bit skeptical of “diseases” for which there is no subjective test.
Videonystagmography (VNG) is a technology for testing inner ear and central motor functions, a process known as vestibular assessment. It involves the use of infrared goggles to trace eye movements during visual stimulation and positional changes....
That’s my second ####ing test. The first one was an MRI that showed bruising on the brain
Is that enough ####ing proof for you.
Instead of offering a suggestion or two, you come back with some dumb ####ing answer.
HTF did you ever become a doctor.
Brain stem, cerebellum and thalamic damage.
I’ll send you the ####ing reports.
What an ass.
Here is the now dated WebMD article from Feb 2015 that broke the news to the medical profession that the US Gov’t finally considered ME/CFS to be a “legitimate” illness.
On the basis of this article alone my own PCP of 4 years at the time threw in the towel and stopped mocking my condition as psychological even though for two years I had been being treated by one of the foremost ME/CFS research clinics in the WORLD run under the direction of Dr. Nancy Klimas at NOVA U. in Ft. Lauderdale.
I have a typical ME/CFS profile of suppressed neuroimmune function with reactivated HHV-4, HHV-6, Coxsackie A, and Parvovirus B19. I take 1500 mg of Valtrex per day to keep the HHV-4. Anything less renders me pseudo-demented in no time flat!
The new name suggested in the article has since been dropped and for now the ME/CFS jumble name is continuing, it seems.
