As always Dr. Bateman is impressive in the clear and organized approach she takes to this subject.

What I like most about Dr. Bateman is that she is very available to discuss ME/CFS/FMS, and discusses it in a way very easily understood.

I appreciate how she mentions the limitations of antivirals and overall many don't have activated Herpes family virus and the neruoinflammation, is it the cause or result, (I think it is the result of our illness) and CFS is just the US term for ME but they had no proof until the fMRI's that we had the "E" whether we were ME or CFS patients. It just becomes obvious when you are the 25% Severely ill or almost there that you can get an ME diagnosis. Or an autopsy.

AND... She alluded to genetics which is my opinion on our disease, there was a trigger but "something" was going to trigger our faulty genetic that sent us into ME/CFS.
