HHV-6 New York Native Flashback #8
"Straus's continued assertions that [chronic fatigue syndrome] 'represents a psychoneurotic condition' and that 'a history of affective disorders is frequent among patients with chronic fatigue syndrome' are rather inexplicable, particularly in light of some of the results that he and his colleagues report. . . . Indeed Straus appears to have an adversarial relationship with those very people whose illness he is trying to elucidate and ameliorate. He has written that, 'It is difficult and at times unpleasant to address the demands of such [chronic fatigue syndrome] patients or to test hypotheses as to the aetiology of their woes.' "
