    ME/CFS as a biological information processing problem

    My PEM from cognitive activity used to be identical as from physical.

    Insights from healthcare professionals on enhancing fatigue management in chronic conditions: a qualitative study 2025 Hettinga et al

    Don’t know why there’s a need for any more professionals’ “views” on our experience you may as well say we need more of the views of men who have no uterus, on how best to handle menstrual cramps
