Great to see this sympathetic overview article in the LA Times

https://www.latimes.com/doctors-scientists/medicine/primary-care/story/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-causes-symptoms-risks-management

It's long so many if not most patients probably won't agree with every sentence but overall gets across a lot sympathetically.

Note: it doesn't focus on any particular news
