Today’s edition (7/17/07) of the New York Times features an article in the Science section titled, “Chronic Fatigue No Longer Seen as ‘Yuppie Flu.’” This is the first article giving scientific validity to the existence and seriousness of chronic fatigue syndrome to be published in the New York Times.

Tuller states that despite some disagreements among patients and scientists, “…nearly everyone now agrees that the syndrome is real.”
