Hi, Dee, and thank you for the warm welcome.
Thomas, thank you for the suggested reading, but at this point there's no reason to think that I have MECFS. The Fibromyalgia diagnosis, which may be incorrect as it was applied without a proper examination (no "tender points" check) by a rheumatologist who was looking at me for RA but who decided she didn't want to pursue that avenue of investigation when my blood work came back normal despite a strong family history of seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis, is currently being viewed as a "shaky secondary diagnosis, but one that gives us a chartable code for appointments" by my doctors. (When I saw them earlier this week, the appointment was charted as "TDAP vaccine," although I did not receive a vaccine. This crew is so silly sometimes.)
