My mum finally overcame chronic fatigue syndrome about 2 years ago. It started when she head to go into hospital as she had a severe eye infection but even when she came out of hospital she was not right. She would get tired very easily, couldnt do anything most days, even a short walk would seem like climbing everest for her. She was always ill with one thing or another, and even though as a 13 year old i thought she was just being lazy looking back now im 16 i realise that actually she was ill and it does exist. Basically she burnt herself out in work as a teacher in a difficult school and so was ill with it for over 2 or 3 years. Even now she still gets very tired and ill easily so to all of the people out there who dont believe it it is real, just go and see soemone who has it. It may well turn out to be the effects of an underlying illness that we cannot see but i definatly believe it. My sister also had a mild form of ME when she was 14 so it may be -possible for it to be genetic. I think we need to research more and have more funding available for the research to take place. It Is an illness, and one that cant be treated. As someone who has seen it happen to both of my immediate family members it really is hard to deal with, and as it is not recognised as a actuall stress born illness there is no compensation available which meant life for us over the past few years has been increadbly difficult with only my fathers small income to rely upon. I hope you or whoever you know that may be affected by it will recover soon, but it is usually long and very painfull for all who are involved. We all need to relax more, as life should be more simple than this. hope that helped, best wishes Abi xxxx

Does it have to exist outside of ones mind to be real? I say if it exists only in their mind then it still must be real. It has a real affect on them anyway. The simple fact that such an issue is discussed makes it more likely for someone to get a case of it. If tommorw the news did a peice on Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome, lots of people would probably have it the next day. Even if it's just a figment of the imagination, it still behaves like a classical disease. It can be spread simply talking about it, it has some sort of affect on the way the person feels or behaves. So in a sense, I would say if it affects someone it must be real even it only exists in their minds.

I've been battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 4 years now and when I got this system I was probably at the lowest point of my life. I had no energy at all and was in constant pain. I hated myself and hated the doctors who all shrugged it off and told me I just needed to take it easy or that I simply needed to have proper sleep!
This have completely changed my life. Barely 3 weeks on this system, and my brain fog and headaches are gone completely! I can now also manage to go for a 20 minute brisk walk without feeling exhausted.
