Hi Blake,

Are you from the same Curtin university from which we found the
following web page?

http://www.hlth.curtin.edu.au/ibrh/fatigue.html

Which contains the following statement?


"The overall objective is to highlight the social construction of CFS
through negotiations among physicians, insurers and patients when
there is contested evidence about the legitimacy of the condition."
