My hon. Friend the Member for Normanton (Mr. O'Brien) will remember that Brynmor John--formerly the Member of Parliament for Pontypridd--suffered from ME. He helped me to prepare one of the two private Member's Bills on ME, which I presented during the early part of my parliamentary career. That is where my feeling of deja vu comes in, because that took place 11 years ago. My ten-minute Bill asked for research into diagnostic tests, because the disease could not be diagnosed and still cannot be diagnosed. It proposed that there should be an epidemiological study--epidemiological is another difficult word which I learned to pronounce.

While her growing lethargy had been diagnosed as the effects of Epstein-Barr virus, which causes constant fatigue, Nicks and her mother suspected it might be related to silicone breast implants that she had received in 1976. “Like cocaine, the whole world was getting them back then, and everyone was told they were safe,” Nicks says. “But I’m living proof that they aren’t safe.” Indeed, several doctors advised that removing her implants would be painful and unnecessary, but Nicks had the surgery anyway in 1994. “It turned out they were totally broken,” she says.

Soderling had not played on ATP Tour since winning Swedish Open in 2011... Sweden's Robin Soderling, the player best known for being the first man to beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open, has retired from professional tennis because of a long-running illness. The 31-year-old, twice a runner-up at Roland Garros, had not played an ATP World Tour event since 2011 after contracting infectious mononucleosis, a viral illness also known as glandular fever.
"I've realised that I will not be healthy enough to be able to play tennis at the level I demand of myself," Soderling told tennis.se. "For that reason I have decided to end my career as a professional tennis player." - ↑ Brukner, Peter; Khan, Karim (May 23, 2019). Brukner & Khan's Clinical Sports Medicine.

In this case there were no complications from the infection, but It should be noted the infection can also lead to chronic fatigue syndrome as a result of the viral effects on the immune system. This complication was ultimately responsible for (he retirement of former world top-10 Swedish tennis professional Robin Söderling at the age of only 26.

In March 1980, Weisstein was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. From 1983 to 2013, she was bedridden. “I do believe that the horrors at Buffalo played a role in making her sick in 1980,” says Lemisch. Still, Weisstein continued to work. After her diagnosis, she remained on journal editorial boards, kept her lab in Buffalo going for eight more years, and published 17 more articles, the last in 1992.

The doctors “characterize[d] it as psychosomatic and ‘female hysteria,’ to use the old, sexist term,” Lemisch says. As her illness continued, it became clear to her husband that “the years of struggle within science now meant a struggle with the medical profession.” - ↑ Emerson, June (October 8, 2009).
