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.
Yup, and those same assholes will now go “we have created the blood test to find lazyness in people.”
Doc: “Oh, you sound depressed.”
Patient: “Well fuck, I’m exhausted and in pain, why wouldn’t I be depressed?!”
