Belfast-born doctor pushes ME research - Irish Medical Times

Irish Medical Times printed a story about the Irish doctor Derek Enlander's participation in the ESME Think Tank in connection with the launch. In the article Dr Enlander clearly states that ME/CFS is a physical disease and needs to be treated as one. He also says about the name CFS: "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome unfortunately was coined in America and the term creates great skepticism. Doctors don’t understand the disease. Then it was given the pseudonym of ‘yuppie disease’ in the popular press, which added to the problem.”
