Dr. Karen

Media Alert: 2/1/2001
Thanks to Kathleen Houghton of the Alaska CFS-MCS
Association
for posting information on Co-Cure about Katie Couric's interview with Dr. Karen Sarpolis on The Today
Show (1/28/01). Dr. Sarpolis, who manages two women's health pages on the Internet, was interviewed about
causes of fatigue. When asked by Couric about CFS, she responded that "it only affects about 10 in 100,000
women" and has a sudden onset.
The CFIDS Association of America is contacting
Dr. Sarpolis to educate
her on more recent prevalence figures and clear up misconceptions about the illness.
