Dr. Elizabeth Unger, Chief of the Chronic Viral Diseases Branch at the CDC, and Yang Chen, an epidemiologist at the CDC, delve into groundbreaking research on ME/CFS and its intersection with Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs). They reveal that three-quarters of ME/CFS patients experience COPCs like fibromyalgia and chronic migraines, stressing the need for better education for healthcare providers. Their insights also pave the way for future studies aimed at improving diagnostics and treatment for chronic pain in individuals with ME/CFS.
