When Tired Isn?t Just Tired: What We?re Learning About Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Image
Everyone gets tired. A long week at work, a late night with the kids, or a weekend packed too full can leave anyone dragging. But for the roughly 2.5 million Americans living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome—often called ME/CFS — exhaustion is an entirely different animal. It doesn’t go away with a good night’s sleep. It doesn’t lift after a quiet weekend. And for many people, it gets noticeably worse the moment they try to push through it. That’s one of the things that makes this illness so hard to explain to others and so often misunderstood, even by the doctors who are supposed to help. It’s not that people don’t believe in this syndrome. I’ve worked with at least one physician who claimed there was no such thing as chronic fatigue syndrome. The interesting thing is that he was the one evaluating people’s cases when they applied for Social Security disability benefits. Need I say he denied almost all of them? For decades, people with ME/CFS were told their sy...

This Is Now A Good Time

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Thursday, April 30, 2026   The high tech/high touch dynamic is not a hydraulic system where one goes up if only the other does down. Nor is it “zero-sum,” where one has to fail for the other to succeed. The truth is, the higher the tech, the higher the touch needed. Successful self-checkouts work to speed customer purchases only when an employee is nearby assigned to help with those who can't manage the instructions (or when the software fails). People leave websites where only a bot responds to questions, but stay and make purchases when a human agent is on the chat. I have reread and proofed this post because too often the software replaces my accurate word with one it thinks actually is meant instead. Have you considered the difference between writing the word “now” and having it replaced with “not”? That is now a concern.
