    A correction has appeared in BMJ Open for a UK/Dutch study published in 2015.
    Esther Crawley was one of the original studies authors.

    Some adults who are ill were ill as children as well.

    And some of us who have been ill as adults have reached our second childhood.

    More whitewashing. Still listed under research. Retroactive exemption from having failed basic (optional) requirements.

    The original article doesn't appear to have been updated so one would have to look for the correction to find it. This is all a sham. Zero respect for the most basic requirements, complete disregard for patient safety. This is all a joke to them.

    Given EC conflates chronic fatigue and PVF with ME it is little wonder that children are not ill as long as adults.
    There is also the statistical gem , if I can remember correctly, that in paediatrics 80% recover naturally and 80% recover as a result of specialist input. ( I could be wrong, sleep is an issue)

    Surely virtually everyone recovers from pediatric conditions, after a while they get old enough to no longer have any.
