Yea, this article made me think of fibromyalgia, which has a huge comorbidity with chronic fatigue, anxiety, etc. Fibromyalgia has its own history of “is it real? should we trust the women who diagnose themselves with this?”. I've met/worked with (massage therapy) many women with fibromyalgia. I don't doubt that they're experiencing *something*, but it's tough to pinpoint exactly what that is.

as soon as I saw “84% female,” this is exactly where my mind jumped. but I also thought of endometriosis and other very real female maladies that don’t get taken seriously because they *are* limited to women.
Like breast cancer? Sorry, I missed the study where male-specific maladies are all over the news while women's issues are swept under the rug. Post the link.
Until big pharma created drugs for Fybromyalgia and it became an easy way to fob off women (with a variety of complaints) by just handing them a prescription.
