Chapter 17 ● Hundreds of ME/CFS patients

Medicine is learned at the bedside and not in the classroom. Let not your?conceptions of disease come from the words heard in the lecture room or read from the?book. See and then reason and compare and control. But see first.

- Sir William Osler, M.D.

I extracted and tabled information on all ME|CFS patients evaluated in twelve years in private medical practice, from 2004 to 2016. After extensive work, 310 were listed; 260 were eligible and had signed informed consents for research, but only 70 had follow-ups with enough data for statistical evaluation. The first two tables below list those patients and their relevant data. It is better to evaluate these tables on a computer. The charts are explained in images 3 and 4.
