Dr. Ken Friedman on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Part III (external link) |
Here is Cort’s introduction:
Welcome! In this issue the three-part interview with Dr. Ken Friedman – ME/CFS/FM father, educator, advocate and researcher – is concluded.
Throughout these interviews Dr. Friedman has bluntly addressed the many issues ME/CFS patients and their advocates face and he doesn't mince words in this one. But along with illuminating the many tasks (and possibilities) present he leaves us with a sense of hope at what can be accomplished; these times are, he believes, “Just Our Beginnings”. With the creativity and persistence he sees emerging in some groups he believes we can alter how this disease is viewed and treated.
Some of the points covered include
• a remarkable success
• the virtues of going local
• changing the name
• getting diagnosed – getting treated (?)
• just the beginning: the future of ME/CFS advocacy

A special thanks to Dr. Friedman for taking the time out to communicate his thoughts so fully.
Cort
