'''Craig W. Maupin''' (Oct 21, 1969–Aug 7, 2019) was an American [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] patient and a long-time advocate for people with ME. Maupin developed ME at the age of 17 and died on August 7, 2019, at the age of 49.<ref name="obituary">{{Cite web | title = Craig Maupin: Obituary | website = Dignity Memorial | url = https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/charlottesville-va/craig-maupin-8810717 | date = Aug 2019}}</ref> ==Advocacy == In 2012, Craig Maupin completed a year-long investigation into Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) compliance with [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] programs within the [[National Institutes of Health]]. His FOIA requests were denied numerous times on the basis that records were "not found," but laid the groundwork for a successful challenge in 2014.<ref name="Burmeisterwins">{{Cite web | url = http://www.cfstreatmentguide.com/blog/burmeister-wins-lawsuit-court-rules-government-must-produce-iom-documents | title = Burmeister wins lawsuit: Court rules government must produce IOM documents | date = Sep 5, 2014|first = Erica|last =Verrillo | authorlink = Erica Verrillo | website = CFS treatment guide}}</ref><ref name="Klein2018">{{Cite web | title = Emperor CDC’s New Clothes | date = July 18, 2018|first = Gabby | last = Klein | authorlink = Gabby Klein | website = Relating to ME | url = https://relatingtome.net/2018/07/18/emperor-cdcs-new-clothes/}}</ref> Maupin was also instrumental in using a FOIA to a copy of a letter written by [[Stephen Straus]] (NIAID) to [[Keiji Fukuda]] (CDC) after he authored the 1994 [[Fukuda criteria]], a letter in which Dr. Straus stated his belief that the "notion" of chronic fatigue syndrome as a discrete fatiguing illness would evaporate, and that he hoped this would happen.<ref name="Strausletter">{{Cite web | url = http://web.archive.org/web/20190424190324/http://cfidsreport.com/News/14_Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome_Definition_IOM_Straus.html | title = CDC AND NIH Officials Discussed "Desirable Outcome" of Seeing A Distinct Illness "Evaporate”.

I predict that fatigue itself will remain the subject of considerable interest but the notion of a discrete form of fatiguing illness will evaporate. We would then, be left with Chronic Fatigue that can be distinguished as Idiopathic or Secondary to an identifiable medical or psychiatric disorder. I consider this a desirable outcome."}}</ref><ref name="Klein2019">{{Cite web | title =CDC the Puppeteer and the UK BPS Connection to Bury ME | date = Mar 22, 2018|first = Gabby | last = Klein | authorlink = Gabby Klein | website = Relating to ME | url = https://relatingtome.net/2019/03/22/cdc-the-puppeteer-and-the-uk-bps-connection-to-bury-me/}}</ref> ==Articles== *2014, [http://www.cfidsreport.com/Articles/CFS/Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome-Fatigue.htm More than just “fatigue.”] - Craig Maupin *2015, [http://www.cfidsreport.com/Articles/CFS/Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome-Fatigue.htm IOM Report Hits The Mark, By Emphasizing the Hallmark Symptom of This Disease] - Craig Maupin ==Online presence== *[http://web.archive.org/web/20190424190356/http://cfidsreport.com/index.htm CFS Report (archive)] - Website ==See also== *[[Stephen Straus]] *[[Centers for Disease Control]] *[[Fukuda criteria]] *[[National Institutes of Health]] ==Learn more == *[https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/charlottesville-va/craig-maupin-8810717 Craig Maupin: Obituary] - Dignity Memorial *[http://www.cfstreatmentguide.com/blog/burmeister-wins-lawsuit-court-rules-government-must-produce-iom-documents Burmeister wins lawsuit: Court rules government must produce IOM documents] ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:People with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]] [[Category:Deceased people with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]]
