<INTRO> Federal officials are trying to raise Americans' awareness of chronic fatigue syndrome. Until recently many people questioned the existence of the disorder. NPR's Richard Knox reports.

<KNOX> Suddenly there's a big push to publicize chronic fatigue syndrome. It's a far cry from seven years ago. Back then the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had to apologize to Congress for diverting thirteen million dollars meant for chronic fatigue syndrome research to other diseases. Now the CDC is urging patients with chronic fatigue to get help...and urging doctors to take the disease seriously. The National Institutes of Health is launching a half-dozen new research projects to identify the cause. The government now says more than a million Americans suffer from it. Four out of five of them don't know it. One government expert says people with chronic fatigue syndrome suffer as much disability as people with multiple sclerosis, kidney failure and emphysema.
