ME is not a functional disorder: ME Association 13,000+ petition sent to NICE

I think that the word I was looking for is "resembling".

Having had a further night to think about this, it seems even more astonishing that NICE would reopen the old discussion about "functional". I thought that even Sharpe and Stone had accepted, at least for public consumption, that the term did not imply any causation and was purely descriptive of disturbance of function. I thought the matter was settled. I must have stopped reading too soon.

Agree. The article states, and the young lady is reported as saying that she has "chronic fatigue" - not "chronic fatigue syndrome."

The problem is most if not all Dr cannot tell the difference and this group are now taking ME/CFS off children who have been diagnosed by the best in the field and re diagnosing FND with Chronic Fatigue and therefor pushing children with ME into CBT and GET and mothers of Fabricating or Inducing Illness as a result. So it would seem we are back to square one.

What code was FND given and functional to a doctor means feelings and beliefs are the problem.

The other thing to note is that they are not looking for cause either it is all down to how our bodies cope with stress again this will put a stop to research and discovery. We should have learnt out lesson but we seem just to go in endless circles with children paying the price.
