I thought I might have seen this posted somewhere but can't find it.
It says 2018 but from the link it might be from 2016.:

Having never heard of it, my response was skeptical, and somewhat annoyed — similar to when you’re told "it’s only a virus" after having a miserable cold for weeks on end.
It felt like a cop-out. But when she told me that there was a chance it would never go away, and the only way to help it was to "avoid exerting too much energy," I decided to do my research.
That was four years ago. Since then, I've learned many things about CFS, including what it is and, just as importantly, what it isn't."

- Living with CFS feels like being tired all the time — but it's so much more than being tired.
- The illness is thought to affect at least 17 million people worldwide, and four times as many women as men.
- It's normally triggered by viral infections like glandular fever, and can last a lifetime.
- It can come along with headaches and a foggy brain, making simple tasks difficult.
- While a 2011 trial suggested CFS can be helped with exercise or psychological therapy, a new analysis of the study found that there are actually no longer-term benefits of either.
