A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve faced doubt and misdiagnosis, it’s a breakthrough that finally validates their experience — and may help diagnose long Covid too.
Hey is this similar to POTS? My friend has been trying to find a diagnosis for years and had multiple blood studies done and the doctors haven’t been able to pinpoint her physical illness despite passing out when her blood pressure spikes/drops
Why have I only heard of this disease recently?
Because many people call it laziness, even though it is a genuine bodily disorder, and not some perceived mental limit you can just power through.
Doc: “Oh, you sound depressed.”
Patient: “Well fuck, I’m exhausted and in pain, why wouldn’t I be depressed?!”
Yup, and those same assholes will now go “we have created the blood test to find lazyness in people.”
