This was a PR since I started running again by 77 seconds from my Sea Fair time. The next goal will have to be sub 20 minutes for a 5k.

Antiquated Thinking and CFIDF
It is amazing to me that people hold onto antiquated scientific and medical information that has been proven wrong. After living with some one with CFIDS for almost 9 years it bagels my mind that any one could try to tell me that it is PTSD and you just need too get over your self and push through and you will be all better tell that to my mom who does and has vulchers swoop down on her when she over does it and her blood pressure drops. How is the following list of symptoms any way connected with a psychological disorder:
-Constant 100+ fever (Just imagine having the flu for 12 years)
-When stressed in any way BP drops to levels that could be considered cardiac arrest 60/35
-After a day of exertion body throws off plasma (What you body does at altitude to thicken you blood as a stop gap till you can make more red blood cells)
-Constant elevated white blood cell count indicating some kind of unknown infection
-IBS like symptoms (blowing up till you are the size that you were when you were 8 months pregnant sounds like fun hu)
These are just the quantifiable ones that cannot be attributed to depression and PTSD not to count the things like brain fog, forget fullness, restless sleep, unrest full sleep, post stress malaise (this is the thing most people think about and fixate on I can say it is different that you or I getting stressed or stressing our bodies and feeling down it is a debilitating fatigue that lasts for 2-5 days flowing), arthritis, muscle pain from stress (it is like she ran a marathon while cramping it is like she drinks lactic acid because it tastes good and it goes state into her muscles causing them to cramp and rubbing them just makes them worse).
This is a debilitating disease that effects more that an estimated 2 million Americans and mostly women (an estimated 90%) this is more than breast cancer. The only reason this has historically been a stigma associated with it mostly be lazy Dr's and media that called it "Yuppy flu" and gave it a stupid name like chronic fatigue syndrome because they were unwilling to see them selves as fallible if they are not fallible then the can find an answer for everything and CFIDS does not fit into their nice little solvable box. I admit I am a guy and I like to solve things I read all the latest research and make my patient wife try all the new fangled alternative treatments that come along.
I feel powerless to solve this plague for my wife I guess that is the engineer in me it is what I do for a living put things in boxes wrap them up with pretty bows and keep them like that. If only more Dr had the mentality of engineers figure out what is wrong and fix it and not the mentality of if I cannot fix it in the 15 minute appointment it is a woman problem or it is all in the patients head. I thing that more this would have been solved Much sooner if it had been men in general Dr Listen to men and dismiss women. I have had to talk sense into more than one Dr when they were going to dismiss a real issue with my wife as woman problem being to emotional.
Why is there not more outrage that only 28 million over the last 20 years has been put into research into? I think that is because we have fallen pray as a society to the Dr way of thinking that women cannot handle stress and it is just women being women. If you need more reference look up the treetment protocal for "hysteria" and tell me what you think I do not have a point. This mentality is still with a large portion of the medical establishment and is like the racism of medicine you don't talk about treating men and women different but you do anyway. I am not saying all Dr's are this way but in my experience when I talk the Dr listens when my wife has been saying the same thing for 20min to the same Dr. My wife has been blessed with a great primary care Physician even though he gets just as frustrated as anyone he is right there listening and keeping up on the latest research.To bad there are not more Dr like this!
We the loved ones of CFIDS need evangelize for our loved ones that cannot or risk the payback and detriment to their already hare lives. Pleas visit The CFIDS Association of America at facebook or http://www.cfids.org/ and please donate to this worthy cause.
Cheers
