I found the article a bit muddled. It talks about tiredness not being the only symptom and how 'chronic fatigue syndrome' isn't a good name,...
I'm very grateful for Chris's work. But, I'm surprised that Chris is still reporting that extreme female predominance. That's saying 82.5% of...

Kaiser Permanente, yes
I'm not sure how this fits with the reported prevalence in the latest CDC update: This study suggests that a lot of people have developed ME/CFS...
