==== WHO Classification ==== ME has been classified by WHO as a disease of the [[Central nervous system]] under ICD-8 since 1969.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_chronic_fatigue_syndrome#International_classifications History of chronic fatigue syndrome - International Classifications]</ref> In the ICD-10, ME is the only disorder listed in the tabular classification under G93.3, Postviral fatigue syndrome ([[Postviral fatigue syndrome|PVFS]]).<ref>[http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/G00-G99/G89-G99/G93-/G93.3 2016/17 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G93.3 - Postviral Fatigue Syndrome - ICD10Data.com]</ref> Despite the increasing prevalence of non-epidemic cases, the disorder was soon dismissed by some as mass hysteria due to the 1970 McEvedy and Beard review, in which no actual patients were examined.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/5411596 Concept of benign myalgic encephalomyelitis. McEvedy CP, Beard AW. - PubMed]</ref> I would remove "It has been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a neurological disease since 1969" because its obviously physical and cognitive. Its tempting to clean up that line or move it but we would not keep a line that says PACE classed it as psychosomatic hence it is even with cleanup.
