Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: a post about it.

Man that would really stink. I know the feeling, but luckily mine is cured with thyroid meds, because I have Hashimotos, hypothyroidism. I can't even brush my hair without getting exhausted if I miss a couple days of meds. This thyroid disease causes my immune system to attack my thyroid gland and inflame my thyroid. I've always had a slightly high white blood cell count when I get blood work done and my thyroid has always been inflamed, even after taking the meds since I was 13. Did they check your white blood cell count? Just in case you have some sort of immuno issue? I'm sure they did :( Sorry they can't help you very much :( You would think they would have some sort of pill to help.

Yeah, thyroid is usually one of the first things they check.

Before they can come up with a treatment, much less a cure, they need to understand the cause--and they haven't quite figured that one out yet.

Part of the problem is that they aren't putting the money into effective research. The CDC has virtually been trying to sweep the whole thing under the rug, repeating research that has already shown no benefit.
