"These are some brief personal notes designed for a non-scientific readership on an excellent full day symposium that was organised by the Northern CFS/ME Clinical Network, the Institute for Ageing and Health, and the Institute of Cellular Medicine at the University of Newcastle.

The symposium highlighted research that is currently taking place in various sites at the University of Newcastle into the role of disabling fatigue, along with autonomic dysfunction and orthostatic symptoms, in a range of chronic conditions.  The presentations concentrated on the role of muscle rather than brain as a cause of fatigue.
 
There was a good attendance from a range of health professionals - who were mainly from the North of England.
