Description
This variable indicates if the respondent had extreme fatigue lasting more than 1 month in the past 12 months. The 1995 Field Representative's Manual defined fatigue as "Weariness that may include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but usually will be less rigorous than a diagnoses of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It does not need to be diagnosed by a doctor." The term "extreme" was respondent defined.
