/sci/ - Science & Math

I am honestly shocked by the insane level of ignorance here on /sci/ about ME/CFS in the latest threads about it. I can understand it on YouTube comments because average person etc. But here? Come on, you are supposed to at least read the Wikipedia article of a disease before you say it is X or Y or she is faking it etc.

So let me be perfectly clear: ME/CFS is not only real and debilitating and horrible and painful and scary, it is also VERY COMMON and there is NO CURE. Tens of millions of people have it, one in 250. It is _BY FAAAAAR_ the worst disease that a human being can _POSSIBLY_ get. It is hard to even imagine something worse. And here is why: Every time you overexert yourself, you take one permanent step closer to being a conscious vegetable in excruciating pain for decades. Once it becomes very severe, like for physics girl Dianna here, you can neither think coherently or focus or move. It is not deadly so you will not die. You will be in severe pain. Not even heroin+ketamine combined makes the pain bearable. You need to be like pic related to not get even worse. 24/7/365.2422/life. You are totally alone with your extreme pain and incoherent thoughts. Communication takes effort you can not produce.

A vegetable in severe pain, alone in silent darkness, for decades until you die of old age.

HOW COULD ANYTHING POSSIBLY BE WORSE THAN THAT?

You want to be a nobel prize winner, go down in history, and become a billionaire from the donations of the tens of millions of people currently suffering from it?

Cure this shit.

would.
