Hello,
My wife and I both have Fibro and CFS Symptoms.
Both of us have had these symptoms for the same time, about three years.
First Question;
Could the causes be environmental?
Second;
How can you get a doctor to take you seriously? Mine just shrugs and offers me anti-depressants, saying that I must just be depressed.
We are getting to the point where we just collapse in a chair at the end of the day. (We are both working) The dwindling energy level is of great concern, and we both long for some help/relief.
Thanks for any help.
Blessings, Steve |

Going to doctors is usually a waste of time and money. Make a study of this website and check out the alternatives.

hi, sorry to hear you think you might have CFS. I've heard that CFS can be environmental, if you're exposed to chemicals or something. Also, something to consider is Lyme's disease, which often mimics CFS and is carried by ticks. As for getting your doctor to understand, i went through several doctors before i was diagnosed.
take care |
