Chronic Fatigue Syndrom Is Not Your Imagination. How about that.

The New York Times reports that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome No Longer Seen as ‘Yuppie Flu’.

That’s nice. What would be even nicer is if doctors would listen to patients who have a bunch of really miserable symptoms and assume that they might actually be sick with something even if it isn’t something that they know about, rather than dismissing them as depressed, wimpy, or overly-sensitive.

    Does that mean that doctors don’t think it’s all in our head? Yea, that’s one for the good guys.

    My doctor is awesome – he’s a CFS specialist and I just adore him.

    Good luck to everyone with CFS!
