Conversation:
My friend was just diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome this year in 2018, but I don't know much about it.
It's characterized by long term fatigue and other symptoms, and it severely limits a person's ability to live a normal life.
What are the other symptoms?
I don't really know, but the fatigue that is felt is not due to exertion or a previous medical problem.
That sounds awful. I wonder how common it is?
Not sure, but there is no real cure there is limited treatment.
Is there any research going on to cure this syndrome?

Response: No! The latest report regarding Chronic fatigue Disorder was published in 1998.
