Chronic fatigue finally gets taken seriously

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome hasn't gotten a lot in the way of respect over the years from the medical community, with patients complaining of being tired all the time (along with other symptoms) often being told to buck up and even sometimes teased that they may have "shirkers syndrome."

But that is all finally changing, as the CDC recently released research that links the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to genetic mutations and abnormalities, and have launched a $6 million dollar campaign to raise awareness about the disorder. CFS is about more than just feeling tired, and many other symptoms like memory loss and and muscle or joint pain often go along with it. Hopefully as we all learn more those who suffer from this debilitating condition can get serious help and real relief.
