Move Nomenclature from Chronic fatigue syndrome to ME/CFS nomenclatures per talk. Ward20 (talk) 01:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article clean up discussion from Chronic fatigue syndrome for ref

In 1988 both the UK Department of Health and Social Services and the British Medical Association officially recognized it as a legitimate and potentially distressing disorder.^{[citation needed]}

Mentioned in letters between the Countess of Mar and the Dean of the Institute of Psychiatry Dr George Szmukler. She says it is matter of record, but I have not been able to find a RS. More interesting information about the recognition of ME in England is given here in paragraphs 2-5 but need to track down RS for these statements. Ward20 (talk) 18:09, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Would Hansard not support the later statements? Jagra (talk) 23:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Internet access to Hansard seems only to be accessible back to 22 November 1988.Ward20 (talk) 21:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yuppie flu

The article erroneously states that the term "yuppie flu" originates from 1990. In reality it is at least several years older. For example, my Finnish CFS/ME website features a letter sent by one of our members in response to a Finnish news article about "yuppie flu", dated March 1988. It would be great if someone could dig up a more accurate source for its origins. DiamonDie (talk) 13:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
