goes into more detail about the presentations made at the
International ME/CFS Science Symposium, which took place at Bond
University, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia in December 2010.
Also, from the IMERC Communique- "There is an urgent need to build
capacity in both clinical services and biomedical research examining
pathomechanisms of ME. The group identified significant discrimination
experienced by people with ME as well as the derived stigma for health
professionals who care for them and those who conduct related
research." With all the controversy going on over XMRV, certain groups
have called into question several longtime ME/CFS physicians and/or
researchers who have been a part of studies which did not support an
association between XMRV and ME/CFS. It is worth remembering that
these individuals also experience static from their peers for even
looking after ME/CFS patients and we would all be up the creek without
them. So to these clinicians, researchers, patient advocates and
others, I would like to say thank you all very very much and that your
work is deeply appreciated.

International Science Symposium for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/ CFS)
Bond University in collaboration with Alison Hunter Memorial
Foundation is pleased to host an International Science Symposium for
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) in
December 2010.
The Symposium, to be held within the Population Health and
Neuroimmunology Unit (PHANU), brings together a number of national and
international specialist scientists working in the field of ME/ CFS.
ME/ CFS is characterised by neurological ,cardiovascular and
myoarthralgic symptoms. Severe forms can present with paresis,
seizures, intractable headache and life threatening complications. ME/
CFS may be also associated with metabolic disturbances and chemical
intolerance.
This Symposium will explore recent advances in scientific disciplines
to gain understanding of the pathomechanisms of this condition.
