Article in 'Philly voice' - This 'invisible illness' doesn't have a known cause or effective treatment

[Sly Saint]

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

The show, according to Buzzfeed, details the true story of how a mother, Dee Dee, made her daughter, Gypsy, undergo unnecessary medical procedures and take harsh medications to treat conditions she never had, like muscular dystrophy. Eventually, Gypsy discovered her mother’s lies and, with the help of her boyfriend, murdered Dee Dee to escape her hold.

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

Counseling is helpful for many people with ME/CFS. This type of treatment helps people better tolerate symptoms by changing thoughts and behaviors. Your doctor may prescribe medications, like antidepressants or sleep aids, if your symptoms are especially severe. These medications can relieve symptoms like unrestful sleep for some people living with ME/CFS.

and on their overview page:

You may be able to manage symptoms with cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise, and medications, like antidepressants and sleep aids.
