Talk:Related diseases

Merge or redirect to Comorbidities?

Shouldn’t the page “Related Diseases” just redirect to Comorbidities of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis? I’m not sure why we have both pages. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I think they should be separate. Many comorbidities aren't likely to be related to the underlying disease process. Some comorbidities are simply common in most chronic illnesses. Those diseases likely to be related are fewer in number. notjusttired (talk) 20:31, July 23, 2019 (EDT)

Mitochondrial Myopathy in Follow-up of a Patient With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

chronic illness any long-term illness, regardless of the severity. Chronic illnesses are typically incurable, requiring long-term management.

mitochondria Important parts of the biological cell, with each mitochondrion encased within a mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondria are best known for their role in energy production, earning them the nickname "the powerhouse of the cell". Mitochondria also participate in the detection of threats and the response to these threats. One of the responses to threats orchestrated by mitochondria is apoptosis, a cell suicide program used by cells when the threat can not be eliminated.
