Over the past year or so, the Cure Together has been asking people with CFS which treatments have worked for them.
??http://curetogether.com/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/treatments/
For understandability, I reorganized their responses.
??As of the beginning of September, 1600 people with CFS responded. (At some point, I will go back and update this.)
All forms of exercise and all antidepressants yielded more than 50% of patients stating that they got somewhat worse or much worse as a result.
In general, it seems to me that "Avoidance" activities came up very highly rated on this list. I'm glad that this forum has been added to Phoenix Rising, therefore!
Best, Lisa
