    Got an email from GARD (NIH) this week. They agreed to remove the statement that, in most cases, symptoms of CFS lessen over time. The relevant bits of the email follow (bolding and spacing mine):

    Here is a link for the 2017 version on the Wayback machine.
    https://web.archive.org/web/2017020...ih.gov/diseases/7121/chronic-fatigue-syndrome

    The biggest change in the 2020 version seems to be the use of "Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome" in the title and elsewhere. Previously the title was "Chronic fatigue syndrome". Additonally the term "Chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome" looks to be retired.

    This section looks to be new. Anyone know any more about their work and interest in ME?
    What a shame the first link about learning is to Mayo. Note this link was also there in the 2017 version.
    Where the treatment tab states (on MAYO website, not GARD).

    How or who could we approach to get Mayo Clinic to update their website info on ME. It actually really upsets me as a severe patient that they are still touting GET. Any suggestions???

    @dave30th has written a couple of blogs on it. This is a link to the latest.

    Here is a S4ME thread

    I can't remember if he wrote a letter to Mayo Clinic or not? I believe a couple of patients have written to them.......
