A panel of federal advisory committee endorsed a proposal for Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to build a national chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) treatment centers.

The panel endorsement and recommendation on Thursday aims to expand the educational knowledge about CFS, for research purposes, and for development of significant care and treatments regarding CFS.

Aside from treatment centers, the panel also aim to change the name of this illness into CFS-ME, where in ME stands to myalgic encephalopathy or myalgic encephalomyelitis.

There is no member of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Advisory Committee, a special committee of outside experts, the group that is intended to advise the (HHS, who questioned about the legitimacy of CFS.

The panel committee meets for several occasions every year, and agreed upon to endorse two proposals to HHS including of adding ME to CFS and a network of treatment center for the illness.

The committee already recommends the same proposal, but the network they aim to build still not exists.

The use of CFS together with ME is a controversial issue with regard in disease that is classified in ME groups. ME classification is known to be in a more serious health condition.

There are some CFS patients who told the panel either to change the name of the illness or attach the ME on it.

A patient says via phone that fatigue is only a part of the illness as one of its symptoms and there are some diseases like Parkinson’s does not called as Parkinson’s Shaking disease same as Alzheimer’s to be called as Alzheimer’s forgetting disease.

Which Dr. Susan Levine, MD, member of the panel committee, a specialist and researcher who treat CFS sufferers, conclude to have same opinion as the patient regarding to the seriousness of the illness.

She that if the illness has a scientific name that will suit to it, the institute can receive more funding form unlike to a name that sounds that odd.
