Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:06:06 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Health officials on Friday released the first nationally representative estimate of how many U.S. adults have chronic fatigue syndrome: 3.3 million.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s number is larger than previous studies have suggested, and is likely boosted by some of the patients with long COVID. The condition clearly “is not a rare illness,” said the CDC’s Dr. Elizabeth Unger, one of the report’s co-authors.Chronic fatigue is characterized by at least six months of severe exhaustion not helped by bed rest. Patients also report pain, brain fog and other symptoms that can get worse after exercise, work or other activity. There is no cure, and no blood test or scan to enable a quick diagnosis.Doctors have not been able to pin down a cause, although research suggests it is a body’s prolonged overreaction to an infection or other jolt to the immune system.The condition rose to prominence nearly 40 years ago, w...

His value is so clear it’s starting to become expected.“We had a meeting the other day and Joe (Mazzulla), as always, he’s (doing) kind of like team development type things that we do and we had to say one thing you love about your teammate, one thing that drives you crazy and a couple other things,” Porzingis said on the podcast. “And I said to D-White, what I love about you is how you’re always making the right play for us.
