trol notes, "The cause or causes of CFS have not been identified and no specific diagnostic tests are available. Moreover, since many illnesses have incapacitating fatigue as a symptom, care must be taken to exclude other known and often treatable conditions before a diagnosis of CFS is made." Though theories abound—infection from nanobacteria (though it"s not clear such organisms even exist), postviral immune reaction, psychological disorder—nothing conclusive has been determined about the cause or causes of chronic fatigue syndrome. A study published Aug. 23 linked CFS to a class of viruses known as retroviruses (it is the second study to find that result), suggesting that retroviruses may play a key role in curing the disease. But, as doctors are often quick to point out, CFS is real and disabling no matter the cause. Here, a nurse discusses treatment options with Andrea Enright, who suffers from chronic fatigue and other illnesses. 美国疾病控制中心指出：“导致 慢性疲劳综合症（CFS）的一种或几种病因还为找到，也没有专门针对该症的诊断测试方法。此外，由于许多疾病也会导致疲劳的症状，必须在确诊CFS之前，对那些已知的以及其他可治愈的情况进行排除。“虽然有毫维细菌传染（甚至不知道这样生物是否存在）、病毒后免疫反映，心理紊乱等大量理论的存在，但是却没有一个结论能够确定慢性疲劳症的病因究竟是什么。一份与8月23日发表的研究将CFS和一类病毒联系起来，并认为该病毒在该症中起到关键作用，这类病毒被称为逆转录酶病毒( 译者：一种致肿瘤病毒)（这是第二个发现这个结果的研究）。但是医生们很快指出不管什么原因造成CFS，它的症状是真实存在的并会导致患者伤残。这幅图中，一位护士在和安德烈恩赖特讨论治疗意见，后者正遭受慢性疲劳和其他疾病的困扰。
Fibromyalgia
纤维肌痛
Much like chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia—primarily characterized by muscle and connective-tissue pain, border="1" Heightened sense of pain to touch, and fatigue—is controversial, with some experts blaming it on a biological disorder, some considering it a psychological condition, and some seeing a combination of the two. Both diseases fall under the category of "medically unexplained syndromes," meaning that while the symptoms may be very 上一页 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] 下一页
