Duke University cultural anthropologist Emily Lim Rogers releases her book 'Sick Work: Exhaustion, Labor, and Invisible Illness,' which examines the labor of living with ME/CFS, the historical downplaying of fatigue, and the compounding exhaustion of being ill.
“The work and everyday labor of living with ME/CFS contains this recursive loop of everyday labor of being ill, where you can't work, but you need to work.”
