==Things to cover == * Intro - ME/CFS not always ''lifelong'', references needed here - seems like most who recover do within 18 months to 2 years - it's usually described as not lifelong (meaning acquired), plus multi-systemic and incurable * '''Unfortunately a psychiatric approach''' - needs explanation since it can be interpreted as anti-psychiatry, should it also say '''instead of a biomedical approach''' - people need to understand that the consequences are severe and that this approach is behavioral and about challenging thoughts - some of those thoughts having significant scientific evidence that they are facts... the MUPS approach of denying medical care and investigation of further symptoms is not found in general psychiatry - neither is the argument that removing sickness benefits improves health <ref name="OxfordBrookesSurvey">{{Cite web|url = https://www.meassociation.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/NICE-Patient-Survey-Outcomes-CBT-and-GET-Final-Consolidated-Report-03.04.19.pdf| title = Evaluation of a survey exploring the experiences of adults and children with ME/CFS who have participated in CBT and GET interventional programmes.

Are you thinking different pages for science and general journalists? Possibly useful: http://www.meaction.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ME-Action-One-Pager-1.pdf Also think historic funding, outbreaks, etc. important to mention. Some things might be cited, other things just interlinked --[[User:JenB|JenB]] ([[User talk:JenB|talk]]) 04:15, 27 February 2016 (PST) Adding this link here for future consideration http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.se/2013/03/three-damaging-myths-about-severity.html?m=1 I will rename the page to be a primer for journalists. If we see a need to split content by general and science writers we can do that later [[User:Olliec|Olliec]] ([[User talk:Olliec|talk]]) 01:50, 28 February 2016 (PST) I think this video is very informative and can be used on any Primer page. Dr. Nancy Klimas on the ME/CFS name, sleep disorders and more. One of her best videos in my opinion. http://me-pedia.org/wiki/Primer_for_journalists Also, if there is a co-morbid section perhaps putting the [[Fibromyalgia]] page would be helpful. I can't wait to start using the Primers! --[[User:DxCFS|DxCFS]] ([[User talk:DxCFS|talk]]) 09:09, 2 March 2016 (PST) Sorry, meant to post this, not the Primer page again. Nancy Klimas video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2vIQ92wU9Y --[[User:DxCFS|DxCFS]] ([[User talk:DxCFS|talk]]) 10:45, 2 March 2016 (PST) --- For the list of "Patient Groups and Charities" - maybe wait until the list on the main page is more complete - until then, use a link to the main page ? Another option is to compare both lists, regularly, and manually update this page. or have an outdated list. --[[User:Suelala|Suelala]] ([[User talk:Suelala|talk]]) 19:58, 25 March 2016 (PDT) :I have the citations on PEM w/o the template. I hope that is OK, I thought it best to get the citations in and if someone feels they should be in a template format they have the option to edit in.--[[User:DxCFS|DxCFS]] ([[User talk:DxCFS|talk]]) 10:39, 16 August 2016 (PDT) --- I can think of a few patients that would be fine with being interviewed but is there someone that can contact them so we can get the OK and plug their names in for this Primer? I am thinking [[L.A. Cooper]], [[Hillary Johnson]], [[Mary Gelpi]], [[Clark Ellis]], [[Brian Vastag]] and more. Perhaps someone getting in touch on Twitter or Facebook? We already have [[Tom Kindlon]], [[Ryan Prior]] and [[Jennifer Brea]].--[[User:DxCFS|DxCFS]] ([[User talk:DxCFS|talk]]) 18:37, 22 August 2016 (PDT) --- Do you think this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF2OuYFDriY new ad by Solve ME/CFS Initiative] could fit in the section about using appropriate photos? Not that they could use it since it's probably copyrighted, but it could give the journalist an idea of what to look for, instead of photos of students cramming for finals. [[User:Kmdenmark|Kmdenmark]] ([[User talk:Kmdenmark|talk]]) 07:52, 3 September 2016 (PDT) :Good idea. I will note this is what many ME/CFS patients look like. Try to get real patients or stock photos that reflect the realities of the disease.--[[User:DxCFS|DxCFS]] ([[User talk:DxCFS|talk]]) 10:02, 3 September 2016 (PDT) ---- Warning: Primer for journalists is calling Template:Citation with more than one value for the "first2" parameter.
