So why is CDC trying to bury PEM? After all, PEM is the most important symptom of the disease--and PEM distinguishes ME patients from people diagnosed with CFS who in reality are just depressed. But maybe thats the point. To lump bona fide ME patients in with the depressed. That way you dont get meaningful data or treatment, and the band plays on. Every time I think CDC cant get more devious, the agency surprises me. First, Unger nixed a two-day exercise test in favor of a one-day test, even though Dr. Chris Snell has shown PEM isnt apparent until the second day of testing. And now Unger cant figure how to measure PEM. If Unger is hung up a consistent, validated way of measuring PEM, she only has herself to blame for not having done a two-day exercise test after all these years. Leaving off PEM in the definition is like omitting elevated blood sugar in diabetes or a depressed CD4 count in AIDS. Its insanity.
