Hot TopicsReport of a Meeting—Towards Understanding of Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Unexplained Fatigue.
'The objective of the meeting was to identify gaps in current approaches to the study of medically unexplained fatigue. In particular will further progress require paradigm shifts, new technologies, or simply more work in currently established directions?'"
The invited participants included Anthony J Cleare, Andrew Lloyd, Ian Hickie, Simon Wessely, Peter D White.
The AHMF asks:
1. Why did the CFIDS Assoc. sponsor a meeting for medically unexplained fatigue?
2. What are the diagnostic criteria for "medically unexplained fatigue?"
We note the "psychosemantic" coalition of ME/CFS researchers was well-represented.
