“Imagine you had the worst flu ever, but it never went away,” said Linda Tannenbaum, a clinical laboratory scientist, to a crowd gathered at Newton-Wellesley hospital earlier this month for a research update. She was describing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, more commonly referred to as just “chronic fatigue syndrome.”

Despite its mild-sounding name, chronic fatigue syndrome is more than feeling tired. In addition to feeling unrested after sleep, many with chronic fatigue syndrome also experience widespread joint and muscle pain, intense headaches, nausea, dizziness or lightheadedness, and loss in short–term memory and concentration."
