    I'm not sure what's annoying about it.
    The article seems to have sort of the right gist.

    However, it's not a mystery illness as the title says. Maybe this is one of the annoying bits?

    We do know some things about ME. Unfortunately, many call this disease a mystery illness. Giving ME that label gives permission to figuratively throw one's hands up and say "We don't know, and we never will. Let's move on to a disease more easily understood."

    I only skimmed it but I dislike the public being told lots of doctors don’t believe in it and the like. As that can lead other people to doubt it, I feel.

    the article insist too much on that, I think that at this point, it shouldn't even be mentioned, we should move past discussions of ME being psychosomatic or not even existing. If somebody wants to learn about that, tehy can always read a history book, they don't need an article
