Dr Charles Shepherd: “(ME/CFS) is not being tired all the time…it is actually quite easy to diagnose in the vast majority of cases…most people will present with being fit, young adults…they will say ‘I was fit, well, I got an infection, I didn’t recover from it…I kept on feeling unwell, flu-like symptoms…and I have these very characteristic muscle and brain symptoms, exercise-induced muscle fatigue.’
