Comment on Why Can’t We Think Well When We’re Sick? by Michelle

Actually it is — but unfortunately not in the good way. James Jones, a virologist who studies ME/CFS at the Centers for Disease Control, wrote a paper recently arguing that people with ME/CFS have become stuck in sickness behavior even though we are no longer sick. And because we are stuck in this aberrant sickness behavior, we’re too focused on every little thing we’re feeling, or rather have heightened “interoception”. His cure, as you might imagine, is cognitive behavioral therapy.

You can read the paper at the Co-Cure board here:

Now, what would make interesting research is looking at the biological reasons we are in a chronic state of sickness behavior. :-)

I too think that my earlier depression, along with the physical trauma of a fall, led to my FMS. I never knew I’d live with the consequences forever.

I think you’ve said more eloquently what I was trying to say. I’ll be adding you to my regular reads. Thanks.
