Same here. Mine started when I was 11 years old. It never left me.
I see my doctor every three months and when I relapse or I catch something bad enough to go see him.

I was never sick before this...I went in for my yearly physical and that was it. In fact besides having CFS I am never sick with colds, flu etc....

Oops ! I made a mistake!

I thought your pool was asking how many times do we see our doctors, now... =-(
I put the wrong answer.

My answer is annually - just to do a pap and a blood test.
And the odd times, when I had pneumonia or if I was very sick.
