Ah, somebody has kindly tidied up my comment here but my point was that a wikipedia search for PVFS leads to this article but the introduction seems contradictory to the very existence of PVFS. M.E. also also leads here, in the UK an old definition of M.E. was PVFS that had lasted more than 6 months. I'm not planning to edit the article as I'm open to accusations of 'POV' & 'original research' etc but I'm suggesting that either PVFS should lead to a page of it's own - where it's existence/non-existence or obsoleteness could be explained or else the intro to the current article needs re-writing.

As well as enterovirus triggered illnesses, the long term effects some people experience following exposure to organophosphates are also labelled CFS in the UK. Isn't the truth that if 'CFS' has any meaning at all then it may appear to be linked to a previous condition or CFS may appear where no prior condition has been noted but really we just don't know? the wording "Is not due to"
just seems a little prejudicial as an opener on a subject where much is unproven. V86.166.105.49 (talk) 11:27, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
