Hello everyone,
I've been suffering from various symptoms off and on for about 7 years. About a month ago I had another episode of whatever it is, and I have been quite sick since then.
I was so frustrated with my doctor because she was telling me it was chronic fatigue syndrome, but I didn't think that covered my symptoms and I really didn't take it seriously as a diagnosis, because I thought there was no treatment. But finally I did look it up on the Internet and found a Canadian consensus document overview. The symptoms described there in fact coincide very well with what I have been experiencing.
So now I am looking to do some reading other than this consensus document overview (which is intended for physicians). I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of some very good reference sources/sites. I specifically information on treatment options that a doctor would take seriously. This consensus document overview that I found does not go into detail on treatments.
Thanks!
Mary
