Many individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and long covid find modern medicine inadequate in explaining their complex symptoms. This limitation leads to confusion and frustration among patients, as traditional biomedical tests often yield normal results. The lack of coherence in understanding these illnesses emphasizes the need for a systems view of health, which focuses on the interplay of various bodily systems and how dysregulation can lead to symptoms. This perspective could help reframe their experience from feeling 'broken' to recognizing potential pathways to recovery.
A systems view of illness encourages us to consider how states of imbalance arise across bodily systems, allowing for the possibility of recovery.
