The Mystery of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
By The New York Times
Millions of people worldwide have the prolonged and severe fatigue and body
aches of chronic fatigue syndrome, a poorly understood ailment sometimes
blamed on psychological problems. Now, in "Virus Is Found in Many With
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,"
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/09/health/research/09virus.html the New York
Times science writer Denise Grady
http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/g/denise_grady
/index.html reports on a little known retrovirus called XMRV that may cause
or at least contribute to the condition.
Fred Friedberg, Ph.D.This week, Fred Friedberg, assistant professor at Stony
Brook University Hospital in New York, joins the Consults blog to answer
readers' questions about chronic fatigue syndrome, or CFS. As a clinical
psychologist and behavioral research scientist, Dr. Friedberg studies
cognitive behavior therapy, EMDR and other behavioral treatments for chronic
fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and related illnesses. He is president of the
International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
http://www.iacfsme.org/ , an international society of 500 biomedical and
behavioral professionals dedicated to scientific advocacy and improved
