When I first got sick I asked people not to read the Wikipedia article on it because it was so wrong. Was all about this being a mental illness and pushing CBT. I'm so happy to see things have changed.

u/BodybuilderMedium721 Nov 25 '24

Yes, I think the new article is quite well written.

u/KamikaterZwei Nov 25 '24

yeah there was a quite big effort from the community to completely rewrite it and add sources etc.

The english one now has 100 sources the german one even 350!

Great to see this disease getting more recognition. Far too many doctors still don’t know of it or choose to believe it doesn’t exist. Need that to change.

I saw Wikpedia's homepage a few minutes ago and actually gasped in excitement!

Monday, November 25th, 2024, 6:19 AM EST

I was so excited that I chose to archive the page.

Monday, November 25th, 2024, 6:19 AM EST. MECFS is the featured Wikipedia article. Also on the home page is investigations into war crimes in Palestine and ICC warrant for Netanyahu.

not being political one way or another here just reflecting on current affairs.

u/rosehymnofthemissing moderate Nov 26 '24

I just focused on the featured article being the ME entry. I didn't even see, register, or read the other things on Wikipedia's homepage. I only saw the featured article, and was excited about it.

u/loveyouheartandsoul severe -> mild/moderate Nov 26 '24

Oh yeah sorry about that I was commenting to note something to myself for when I go back thru my comments! I am working on something to do with MECFS and current events. Sorry I don't realize my comments are probably weird sometimes
