Bio
Biography
In the past decade Dr. Rowes research and clinical work have focused on conditions in which chronic fatigue is a dominant symptom. His work has emphasized the relationship between chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and treatable circulatory abnormalities, and first reported the association between Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (a connective tissue disorder) and CFS. He has been interested in the association between these circulatory abnormalities and fatigue in cancer survivors, fatiguing illnesses in Gulf War veterans, and fatigue in athletes.
