Not Rare: CDC Says 3.3 Million Have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
The CDC estimates 3.3 million U S adults have chronic fatigue syndrome, a figure higher than earlier studies and likely including long COVID patients. The illness lasts at least six months with severe exhaustion, pain, brain fog, and worsened symptoms after activity. There is no cure or quick diagnostic test, and causes remain unknown though linked to prolonged immune response. Historically misattributed as psychosomatic in Incline Village Nevada and Lyndonville New York, the condition still faces skepticism.
