I don’t often comment on animal studies because they are usually way too early to really have any impact on humans, but this particular article caught my attention.

It’s been a puzzle as to why fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome affect more women than men, so this is the interest of many researchers. At the University of Iowa, researchers have found that there may be a biological link between fatigue and pain. You can read about it here: Study Finds Biological Link Between Pain And Fatigue.
