    Huh?

    Had a quick scan -

    The say they established that 51% of respondents don't need to be absent from.work because of "chronic fatigue" and 23% can't afford to be & their productivity is affected.

    So 75% are still capable of getting themselves into work and seem capable enough at work to be let carry on by their bosses?

    I think they may well be looking at fatigue and certainly not CFS or ME.

    Note the title of the journal:
    Forget the article itself. Have only skimmed over it very quickly but seems to be a confused cobbling together of other studies that have looked at economic impact of CFS/CF. Nothing new in there.

    But do read the list of topics covered by this journal and the contents page (pages 4&5) for entertainment value. I particularly like the "Bogy-Mind psychological balance and practices"[sic]. :rofl:

    Apart from the issues around the CF article there’s a lot of translationese going on.
