Welcome
Welcome Chickentender! Just to let you know that the lead on the Chronic fatigue syndrome page led to a long debate - please check the talk page before updating. For medical pages, specific kinds of sources are needed for changes and these must meet the WP:MEDRS policy. Patient websites don't meet that standard, it requires a particular article which is usually an independent secondary source. Searching pubmed for systematic reviews, using the ICD classification, an edited book, etc is needed. There's a lot already used on the page if you scroll down to the references, so there's almost certainly sources there you could use. I have only recently started editing that article and quickly found out that it's very controversial and especially the lead sentences, and I quickly got accused of "advocacy" which is banned. While Charles Shepherd does consistently use the term in your edit, that's not actually the agreed upon one used by others, and it misses out the spinal cord activity (myelitis). I hope you don't be put off editing by my reverting the change. There's actually a category for chronic fatigue syndrome with a number of different articles to contribute to.
