chronic fatigue syndrome

Whoever came up with this name should be shot. The term 'chronic fatigue' doesn't do justice to this illness, which is much more akin to late stage AIDS than how you feel after a really hard workout. CFS is a lot of fun because 1. doctors think you're full of shit 2. everyone else thinks you're just lazy 3. no one's bothered to invest in research for a cure, probably because CFS patients are too sick to get out of bed to stage outrageous public funerals, etc.
