Prevalence Figures
By K. Kimberly McCleary

How many Americans have CFS? The CDC’s latest prevalence study suggests millions.

This feature article originally appeared in the Summer 2007 edition of the CFIDS Chronicle, the only national magazine dedicated exclusively to providing information, research and encouragement to the CFS community.
