Thank you! I am a 40 year + 9 month survivor of ME CFS (diagnosed 11 years later) and a 33 year survivor of Fibromyalgia. I still have hope that something more will be able to help us old timers - you just so never know when research will have some very loud “aha” moments! My job is to cheer on doctors like you, to pray for cures, to encourage my fellow patients. Thank you, Dr. Bateman for your dedication to us and for giving us hope. You are an angel 👼
I have both FM and ME/CFS and have been sent to do hydrotherapy for my FM....the pain for 3 days was horrific and I found myself sleeping for 3 hours during the daytime...every now and then I do have a daytime nap but only for an hour,,,this explains it thanks
Thank you for doing these educational videos. They’re a god send to help me learn about this devastating condition and I hope I can bring some info to my Dr
This is a phenomenal explanation of this illness…now if I could find a physician that can try to understand it to even diagnose me. I’ve done my research over the past years of being sick now it’s time to educate them?!? Thank you.
Hi yes im asking this to..Im in Middleburg FL who can help me with this condition and all these horrible symptoms..we need doctors here in my state of FLORIDA to really help understand and properly honestly treat all of us here in FLORIDA to many sufferers here
I was diagnosed by Dr. Hugh Smythe who pioneered the research of Fibrositis / Fibromyalgia. This is likely the research group Dr. Bateman is talking about. Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Could the maker of this video PLEASE tell me what kind of doctor should I go to to get a formal diagnosis? I'm in despair because I keep getting sent in the wrong directions! Thank you so much!
I'm currently collecting disability (SSI), but my lawyers are trying to get me on SSDI instead. Then I won't have to worry about covering my rent for a while and get me more food. To do this, I need a formal diagnosis letter, which will help my lawyers as they appeal my SSDI case. Thanks so much for any advice!
I've been continuously sick for 14 weeks: Flu A - bronchitis - upper respiratory infection - some unknown virus - now symptoms of ME/CFS but it hasn't been 6 months, so now it's post viral syndrome. Would love (need!) to know more about PVS. Does it automatically go into ME/CFS? Is there a way to stop it before it becomes ME/CFS? I have 3 out of the 4 symptoms of ME/CFS. I used to have an active life, now I'm couch bound and pretty much unable to do anything for myself.
