Missense liked SNT Gatchaman's post in the thread [Thought experiment] In a random cohort of 100 ME/CFS patients (recent diagnosis via CCC), what can you know about them with 90%+ certainty?.

Me too! That's part of it, but it also feels exclusionary because most people won't know what it means—it even stumps me sometimes...

This is now getting really far off topic, sorry mods, but i wonder if one's accent affects it. For example for me to say the letters...

I'm not from the U.K but I always felt that PIP sounded too much like PEP (liveliness and energy).

eeewww me too! when people say pem as a word rather than using the 3 letters it gives me the creeps i have such an aversion to it i find...

Missense liked Sean's post in the thread [Thought experiment] In a random cohort of 100 ME/CFS patients (recent diagnosis via CCC), what can you know about them with 90%+ certainty?.
Always said pem, as in pen, just swap the n for an m. Keeping it short and simple is what acronyms are for, I thought. I don't have...

No, I say P-E-M, and most of the people I know do. That might be the reason I think it's the norm and 'pem' sounds really weird, though! :D

So I've been saying it wrong all these years? Do you literally sound out post-exertional malaise every time you read PEM?

Missense liked Kitty's post in the thread [Thought experiment] In a random cohort of 100 ME/CFS patients (recent diagnosis via CCC), what can you know about them with 90%+ certainty?.

Missense liked Creekside's post in the thread [Thought experiment] In a random cohort of 100 ME/CFS patients (recent diagnosis via CCC), what can you know about them with 90%+ certainty?.
When describing the ME symptom, I use "fatigue-like" instead of "fatigue", to clarify that it's not the same as other more common forms...
