“Mens utmattelse ofte er en naturlig del av livet til de fleste mennesker, er dette symptomer som, selv i de fleste tilfellene, går over av seg. For å tilfredsstille kriteriene for kronisk utmattelse, må symptomene derimot være av en viss intensitet og av en varighet på mer enn seks måneder.

I doktoravhandlingen – Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): the importance of fatigue, disease-related worries and Health-related Quality of Life, har Jelsness-Jørgensen og medarbeidere vist at to ganger så mange med ulcerøs kolitt og nærmere tre ganger så mange med Crohn’s sykdom tilfredsstiller disse kriteriene – sammenlignet med befolkningen generelt.”

“The biennial meeting of the IACFS was held in Ottawa, Ontario, this year.  Those who expected Fall leaves and falling temperatures were greeted instead with temperatures in the high 70’s and sticky humidity.   The theme of the conference could have been “Not What You Expected,” instead of “Translating Evidence Into Practice”!

While well attended, there was a notable absence of the “Old Guard” such as David Bell, Jacob Teitelbaum, Ritchie Shoemaker , Suzanne Vernon, Rich Podell,  Pat Fennell, and many others.  The large support groups (AFSA, NFA, CFIDS Association, CFS Knowledge) were not represented.  We missed you all, but I have to say that this meeting attracted a large number of new and active participants.   Overall about 200 patients and 200 providers attended, representing over 20 different countries.

Although the theme was “Translating Evidence Into Practice,” there was a dearth of papers on treatment.   Nevertheless, there were a lot of new researchers and no dearth of new ideas!

This conference was kindly hosted by Lydia Nelson and the ME/CFS Action Network of Canada.”
