    Not a particularly bad article that quotes #MEAction a lot (The Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Action Network).
    However, I question the bit at the end re Lady Gaga being an ME/CFS sufferer (I thought she had Fibromyalgia(?))
    @JaimeS

    But then looking through it again, in the middle of the article is:

    "RELATED READ: There’s an entire television series based on this mental illness "


    The link takes you to an article on:
    'The Act,' now streaming on Hulu, chronicles the true story of an extreme case of Munchausen by proxy



    This is possibly an unfortunate coincidence in terms of this being in the middle of an article about ME but........

    Also in both articles they link to/quote the Cleveland Clinic.
    On the Cleveland site for ME/CFS treatment

    and on their overview page:


    https://my.clevelandclinic.org/heal...tigue-syndrome-mecfs/management-and-treatment

    article in Philly voice here:

    eta: just found the identical article with same link in the middle here
    https://www.archynety.com/health/this-invisible-disease-has-no-known-cause-or-effective-treatment/
    this one is supposed to be by DrByos (??)
