==Prevalence== The prevalence of anorexia in people with ME/CFS is unknown. [[File:Whitney.JPG|350px|thumb|[[Whitney Dafoe]] is an American photographer with [[Severe_and_very_severe_ME#verysevere|very severe ME]], which causes him very severe [[digestive problems|gastrointestinal symptoms]], because of this he is severely underweight. Whitney can no longer speak, eat, or have contact with anyone but his parents due to [[Severe and very severe ME#verysevere|very severe ME]]. Whitney was previously [[misdiagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome|misdiagnosed]] with the eating disorder [[Anorexia_and_eating_disorders#anorexianervosa|anorexia nervosa]], which resulted in him being refused the surgery needing for a feeding tube and in-patient psychiatric care was recommended instead. Whitney has severe gastrointestinal symptoms rather than an eating disorder or appetite loss, and is now fed by a [[tube feeding|feeding tube]], is still unable to even drink water. He needs full time care.<ref name="Dafoe2021"/>]]
