Anybody familiar with the condition called chronic fatigue syndrome and with treatments, supplements and so on which have proven to be effective in the management of this condition ?
I could speak a little on Epstein/Barr if that is the same diagnosis you are concerned with. Let me know.
Could be depression or an anxiety issue, Depression can cause sever physical pain as well as fatigue. Do more, get out more. There is a certain amount of depression related to the winter months. Have you actually been diagnosed with CFS. It seems more like an generic term then an actual diagnosis.
I have lazy syndrome. :biggrin1:

I think Epstein-Barr evolved into CFS in the states.Is that the same as Epstien-Barr syndrom?
Beep, wrong answer. Twenty years ago that was the thinking. CFS is a legitimate disease which unfortunately affects millions worlwide.Could be depression or an anxiety issue, Depression can cause sever physical pain as well as fatigue. Do more, get out more.

That's not appreciated. You really could have kept that negativity to yourself, as it also shows your ignorance. I know people that have suffered with CFS, E-BS, and fibromyalgia. A friend of my ex-bf's career was ruined by CFS he was forced to retire from the FBI at the age of 33 and had to go on disability. He was not a lazy man.I have lazy syndrome. :biggrin1:
It is likely that this is a side-effect of fibromyalgia.
Guaifenesin? Really? No wonder it's a slow process, that's a decongestant. My doc used to prescribe it for me every time I got bronchitis. It's now sold over-the-counter as Mucinex in the USA.Look up Dr St Amand in Los Angeles and his treatment for fibromyalgia with Guaifenesin. It is a long slow process but after 4 years it has worked for me.

One of our former members Dr Rock suffered mightily from Epstein Barr.

Very true. Unfortunately there are still insurance companies which want to view all of the above related disorders as if they are psycho somatic . The fact that so many women suffer from them doesnt help that issue.

Yes, I have heard of a number of people who have been forced to go on disability because of these disorders.
