    90-year-old talks about 40 plus years with ME/CFS

    @Abrin, I understand your reluctance, because of the way your father was treated, to seek out a doctor yourself for a diagnosis. One of the reasons I don't like going to doctors is because even as a young child I understood that my mother was not taken seriously by her doctor. At an early age...

    90-year-old talks about 40 plus years with ME/CFS

    Thanks, @Abrin, for telling me about your father and your family's sad situation. Well, my story is a long and complicated one. But I will try to keep my answer to your question about whether I was believed as short as possible. The doctor believed in the series of infections that preceded...

    90-year-old talks about 40 plus years with ME/CFS

    I'm sorry, @Abrin, for your father and for you. When did your father become ill? How is he getting along now? My mother was also ill. She would've been 88, but she died a few days after her 67th birthday.

    90-year-old talks about 40 plus years with ME/CFS

    Conella B.'s story is featured today in Solve ME/CFS Initiative's "Humans of ME/CFS." Her story caught my attention because the last few years I've been thinking more and more about the plight of elderly ME/CFS patients. I am old myself, and I have a close ME/CFS friend in her seventies, and...

    Cell Danger Response, Autism, CFS and "Her Name Is Sabine"

    Now that I've returned to this thread after several weeks, I'm embarrassed to see that although I said that the film is in six parts, I only provided links for five. I apologize. Here's the link for the sixth: I hope that I didn't mix up the order of parts.
