\nAn article published by the Guardian<\/a> this week highlights how attitudes towards Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) may be changing. The article discusses the stigma which has been attached to CFS within the medical industry over the past 30 years, and how this has discouraged some researchers from working on the topic. As an increasing amount of\u00a0research looks at the possible root causes of CFS, bodies such as the Institute of Medicine in the US are showing recognition. Last year the Institute of Medicine published a report<\/a> describing CFS as\u00a0\u201cserious, chronic, complex and systemic disease\u201d.<\/p>\n
