Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secundary study parameters are: The cognition that one is recovered from CFS; this is measured daily by asking the participant to click on a line ranging from of 0-10 cm (not credible at all * completely credible): *How credible does it feel for you to say *I am recovered from CFS*? The experienced fatigue; this is measured daily by asking the participant to click on a line ranging from of 0-10 cm (not fatigued at all * extremely fatigued): *I feel today: *.—

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary study parameter is negative associations with fatigue; these are measured by daily scores on the adapted FQL-items. Participants will be asked to click on a line of 0-10cm: *To what extent does the following adjective fit your experienced fatigue? *. Three adjectives will be chosen from the baseline assessment FQL-scores (T0) of the individual participant.—
