Treatment Overview
Treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) focuses on making you feel better so that you can resume a normal life. Simple measures you can take at home—such as improving your sleep habits and getting gentle exercise—are important parts of treatment. Talking with a counselor or psychologist has been proven to be helpful for people with CFS.6, 7
Although there is no cure for CFS, many of its symptoms do respond to treatment.
Initial treatment
Pain relievers that you can buy without a prescription, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin, may help relieve headaches, muscle and joint pain, and other physical symptoms. Narcotic pain relievers, which require a prescription from a health professional, may become addictive if they are used frequently, so they are generally prescribed in the most severe cases on a short-term basis.

I know of people who have used a functional health beverage based on the SE Asian mangosteen fruit to cure (or at least alleviate) CFS. It is called Xango and I became a member due to the fact that it got rid of my carpal tunnel, skin problems, and chronic back ache and because I could get it wholesale. It is amazing the number of ailments for which it is effective. I'm not trying to sell it but you should investigate for yourself. When I joined I was given a free web site which has a lot of info pertaining to the mangosteen. My site is www.mymangosteen.com/dchase. Be sure to click on the "product" tab and the links that take you to scientific info and testimony about your particular problem. Also go to the gov. site Pub Med to examine independent studies that have been done by Universities and Labs in the past 30 years. Just put in the word "mangosteen" and also "xanthones." Xango has a patent on using the peel which is the curative portion so any other concoction advertising mangosteen isn't as effective.
