...last year, my new rheumatologist decided to request some more blood tests to check my hormone levels and during February 2014 I was diagnosed with Hypogonaotropic Hypogonadism - a lifelong dysfunction of my Pituitary glad that was genetically inherited.
"Chronic Fatigue" is a major symptom of Behcet's disease and "chronic fatigue" is also a major symptom of pituitary disorders be they inherited or due to injury of the pituitary gland.
I now realise that those doctors who claim to be specialists in "chronic fatigue" are not specialists in all the possible causes of "chronic fatigue" that cover many clinical specialities from Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Neurology.
Having been made housebound and bedbound for eight excruciating years from my misdiagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome it is my view that there is sadly a great deal of ignorance within the medical profession that has been randomly condemning patients to suffer clinical misdiagnosis instead of clinical investigation.

Perhaps the time is coming that the medical profession itself will have to take the blame for the mess that they have created covering more than two decades since the artificial construct of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was introduced.
How can any specialist in "chronic fatigue" make an accurate differential diagnosis if they are not qualified or able to understand all the many pathological causes?
