=== Research === '''2015 Recap: Call for Real Answers to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome'''<ref>{{citation |last = Firth|first = Shannon | date = 2 January 2016 | title = 2015 Recap: Call for Real Answers to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|url= http://www.medpagetoday.com/Neurology/PainManagement/55487|newspaper= MedPage Today|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''MedPage Today: Neurology'' By: Shannon Firth. (02 Jan 2016) "In 1996, Judith Curren, 42, took her own life with help from Jack Kevorkian, MD. Curren was thought to have [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] (CFS), an illness associated with immune and neurologic symptoms that remains difficult to diagnose. A medical examiner questioned whether Curren was ever sick, according to The New York Times." '''Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is Not Merely Dysbiosis'''<ref>{{citation |last = Henderson | first = Theodore | date = 2 September 2016 | title = Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is Not Merely Dysbiosis|url= http://www.psychiatryadvisor.com/opinion/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-is-not-merely-dysbiosis/article/520401/|newspaper= Psychiatry Advisor|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''Psychiatry Advisor'' By: Theodore Henderson. (02 Sep 2016) "The Times heralds that this article “proves” that ME/CFS is not a psychological illness as it has long been scornfully conceptualized by doctors and the medical world. This is a good thing, I suppose… because it once again emphasizes that ME/CFS is a biological condition and once again emphasizes that infectious agents cause ME/CFS. Unfortunately, it takes the medical care of ME/CFS in the wrong direction. The cited article by [[Ludovic Giloteaux|Giloteaux]] and colleagues, Reduced diversity and altered composition of the gut microbiome in individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome,2 seems to ignore the extensive research demonstrating a viral etiology for ME/CFS." '''NIH Gears Up for First-Ever Chronic Fatigue Study – Patients' advocates share concerns about trial protocol, bias'''<ref>{{citation |last = Firth|first = Shannon | date = 17 March 2016 | title = NIH Gears Up for First-Ever Chronic Fatigue Study – Patients' advocates share concerns about trial protocol, bias |url= http://www.medpagetoday.com/Neurology/GeneralNeurology/56772|newspaper= MedPage Today|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''MedPage Today: Neurology'' By: Shannon Firth. (17 Mar 2016) "The National Institutes of Health gave the green light for a novel study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), but the news elicited mixed reactions from patient advocates." '''Biomarker Research Advances in 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome''''<ref>{{citation |last = Tucker | first = Miriam E. | date = 8 November 2016 | title = Biomarker Research Advances in 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome'|url= http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/871552|newspaper= Medscape|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''Medscape'' By: Miriam E. Tucker. (08 Nov 2016) "New research adds to growing evidence that the illness commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome is biologically based, researchers report here at the International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (IACFSME) research and clinical conference. Some of the abnormalities identified suggest potential clinical diagnostic tests and targeted treatments." '''NIH Program Director Talks Team Work to Tackle ME-CFS'''<ref>{{citation |last = Firth|first = Shannon | date = 15 November 2016 | title = NIH Program Director Talks Team Work to Tackle ME-CFS|url= http://www.medpagetoday.com/Neurology/GeneralNeurology/61447|newspaper= MedPage Today|location= New York|access-date= }}</ref> ''MedPage Today: Neurology'' By: Shannon Firth. (15 Nov 2016) "For decades, those in the myalgic encephalomyelitis-chronic fatigue syndrome (ME-CFS) community have faced an uphill battle, getting the government, and the medical community in general, to take their condition seriously." '''Metabolic switch may bring on chronic fatigue syndrome'''<ref>{{citation |last = Coghlan | first = Andy | date = 13 February 2017 | title = Metabolic switch may bring on chronic fatigue syndrome|url= https://www.newscientist.com/article/2121162-metabolic-switch-may-bring-on-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/#.WKHkr44tfK0.twitter|newspaper= New Scientist|location= London|access-date= }}</ref> ''New Scientist'' By: Andy Coghlan. (13 Feb 2017) "It’s as if a switch has been flicked. Evidence is mounting that chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is caused by the body swapping to less efficient ways of generating energy." '''Moving Toward Answers in ME/CFS'''<ref>{{citation | last1 = Koroshetz | first1 = Walter | last2 = Collins | first2 = Francis | date = 21 March 2017 | title = Moving Toward Answers in ME/CFS|url= https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2017/03/21/moving-toward-answers-in-mecfs/|newspaper= NIH Director's Blog|location= Bethesda, MD|access-date= }}</ref> ''NIH Director's Blog'' By: Dr. Walter Koroshetz and Dr. Francis Collins. (21 Mar 2017) "Imagine going to work or school every day, working out at the gym, spending time with family and friends—basically, living your life in a full and vigorous way. Then one day, you wake up, feeling sick. A bad cold maybe, or perhaps the flu. A few days pass, and you think it should be over—but it’s not, you still feel achy and exhausted. Now imagine that you never get better— plagued by unrelenting fatigue not relieved by sleep. Any exertion just makes you worse. You are forced to leave your job or school and are unable to participate in any of your favorite activities; some days you can’t even get out of bed. The worst part is that your doctors don’t know what is wrong and nothing seems to help." '''Biological evidence of 'atypical' chronic fatigue syndrome discovered by scientists'''<ref>{{citation | author = <!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> | title = Biological evidence of 'atypical' chronic fatigue syndrome discovered by scientists|url= https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/04/170404104832.htm|newspaper= Science Daily |location= | date = Apr 4, 2017|access-date= }}</ref> ''Science Daily'' (4 Apr 2017) "Scientists at the Center for Infection and Immunity (CII) at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health are the first to report immune signatures differentiating two subgroups of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): "classical" and "atypical." This complex, debilitating disease is characterized by symptoms ranging from extreme fatigue after exertion to difficulty concentrating, headaches, and muscle pain."
