Hi, my brother has had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since he was 14, he is now 32. He has always been underweight and has always had problems with not eating enough food. The past 15 months have been hard on us since our father died and we began taking caring of our mother, I do most of the housework and caring duties for my mother. He was prescribed protein/vitamin/mineral shakes from the dietician which he takes on a regular basis but i think most days he doesn't eat enough food. He would go to bed around midnight and then get up at around 4 or 5 in the afternoon and usually have two sausages and a piece of white toast with a cup of tea. He would then have a small dinner (sometimes they are larger) followed by a protein shake and maybe some cheese and crackers afterwards. He also gets bad migraines which he gets three days in a row usually. I have been trying to convince him to see a counselor since i think his condition is causing him to have a low mood and low self esteem and its becoming increasingly difficult to talk to him about his diet. He has asked our local doctor for a referral to a psychologist which he says he will make an appointment with. What suggestions do you have to help with his diet and routine?
