    Thought it was ironic that they use "chronic fatigue" in the title but the subtitle states "The term chronic fatigue underemphasises the full scope of symptoms sufferers face."

    I think it's an excellent article. The title seems a pity, but maybe it might attract more readers to read out of curiosity - after all, everyone gets 'fatigue'.

    Let us hope that the editor, rather than the author, was responsible for the title.

    Not a good choice of stock photo, either.

    Four pieces of jewelery, carefully manicured fingernails, freshly washed hair, clean sheets, young female...
