Just to point out ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromylgia are not flu like sysmptoms, at their worst they are more debitating than MS. They both carry a hallmark problem not seen in anything else called Post Exterion Malaise, where the body will crash if mentally or physically overexerted often leaving the patient unable to lift their own body to eat for months along with a raft of significant systemic problems. They have extremely limited total energy. Flu doesn't work like that at all, CFS and Fibro are really bad and its a disgrace of the medical community that they have failed to research it and gaslight the sufferers for 70 years.
