==== From CFS to 'any unexplained fatigue' ==== Various groups invented new definitions, that required only 'medically unexplained fatigue' such as [[Reeves criteria]] and [[Oxford criteria]]. Fatigue is a common symptom in any population, with many different causes. These new definitions allowed some psychiatrists to claim that CFS could be 'cured' through exercise and positive thinking which has been promoted through the [[PACE trial]] and that this 'cure' also applied to people who are severely ill with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19855350/ A review on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET) in myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) / chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS): CBT/GET is not only ineffective and not evidence-based but also potentially harmful for many patients with ME/CFS.]</ref><ref>[http://www.meassociation.org.uk/2009/12/statements-of-concern-about-cbtget-provided-for-the-high-court-judicial-review/ Statements of concern about CBT/GET provided for the High Court judicial review - ME Association]</ref>
