總是很累？小心“雅痞感冒”

"Yuppie flu" is a 1980s name for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), reflecting the skeptical way the disease was first viewed. Medical experts now know that yuppie flu is a real condition that can seriously affect quality of life and health for half a year or longer.

“雅痞感冒”(yuppie flu)是人們在1980年代對于慢性疲勞癥候群(CFS)的稱呼，反映出最初人們對這種疾病所持的懷疑態(tài)度。而現(xiàn)在醫(yī)學專家已經(jīng)知道，雅痞感冒確實是一種病，會嚴重影響生活質(zhì)量和身體健康長達半年或更久。

People with yuppie flu generally complain of fatigue that doesn't improve with rest and means they must reduce their activity level by less than half or more of what they would normally do.

Patients with this condition have fevers that may come and go, muscle and joint aches, or feelings of weakness in the muscles. Sore throats are frequently reported, headaches may occur, and the lymph nodes can be sore and tender. Depression or anxiety can develop with these symptoms.

患上此癥的病人可能反復發(fā)燒，伴有肌肉和關(guān)節(jié)疼痛，或者感到肌肉無力。咽喉酸痛也是常見癥狀，可能伴發(fā)頭疼，淋巴結(jié)酸痛變軟。伴隨上述癥狀，可能還會發(fā)生抑郁和焦慮。

The exact cause of the condition isn't yet known, but there are standard and treatments which may prove helpful in recovery.
