Yes it isI thought this was for the US website but it seems the author is British. Are there any namby-pamby, wishy-washy, bleeding heart liberals who can tell us if this is the print edition?

Sasha, as I know you're a connoisseur of 'tired woman' images to illustrate me/cfs ... the Guardian's article has an image of a woman on a bed (nice negligée!) which is credited to Getty Images.
If you go to the Getty images site and look up cfs or chronic fatigue you don't get that image but if you search on "tired woman on bed" up it pops! Gawd knows what goes through the minds of newspaper picture editors when they're seeking illustrations, but I'm afraid "tired" is front and centre of their minds.

As someone who was in a cluster outbreak, I would disagree. The article talked about the RC outbreak , so it is probably based on that.This article implies that one can give CFS to others....I am not sure that is true. If other family members got it, it is probably a genetic predisposition rather than infecting each other.
