20th Anniversary of the Consensus Manual For The Primary Care and Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
2022 is the 20th anniversary of the Consensus Manual For The Primary Care and Management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Members of the New Jersey Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Association – NJCFSA (now the New Jersey Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Association – NJME/CFSA) lobbied the New Jersey State Legislature for its production. The legislature made an appropriation for the production of the manual with the instruction that it would be distributed to every licensed physician in NJ. Drawing on CFS experts in NJ and the greater New York metropolitan area, including five members of NJCFSA, the manual was produced, translated into Japanese and Spanish, and served as the model for the writing of the International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis’s – IACFS/ME’s ME/CFS: A Primer for Clinical Practitioners. The Consensus Manual contains much useful information concerning the diagnosis and patient management of ME/CFS some of which does not appear elsewhere in the medical literature. A first read or a reread of the Consensus Manual is time well spent.
