Allergic tension-fatigue syndrome?

[Guest guest]

Has anybody come across this as a recognised illness? I found it

described in " Understanding Allergies " by Steel 1986. The

symptoms are pretty much identical to CFS/ME (certainly matching my

experince, with a combination of exhaustion and restlessness " Tired

but wired " ) But I noticed the date, and wondered if it is just an

early/alternative name for the then relatively unknown CFS?It

suggests that a diagnoses of Allergic tension-fatigue syndrome can

be given to someone who's exhaustion symptoms etc can be attributed

to an allergy to some foods plus an airbourn trigger like mould...

But I don't fancy trying to sit with my Dr to discuss this, if it is

no longer, or never has been, a recognised diagnosis!

If this is considered off topic (sorry!) then please post any

thoughts back list.

Thanks very much
