What Advice Would You Give Someone That Just Became ILL?

[Guest guest]

I would suggest they keep going on, make whatever adjustments need to be made in

their life and keep searching for a doctor that hears them and can offer them

support in any way they can, be it emotional, medicinal, whatever. I have done

more for myself thru research, via books, internet, etc than any doctor has done

for me so far. My GP (who dx'd me with CFIDS 7 years ago) just told my husband

yesterday that he doesn't really know what I have exactly and that they (meaning

drs') just use CFIDS as a 'catchall' when they don't know what it is! Fabulous

- not a lot of real support there! But I will keep going to find another - I

know they're out there, but I also know that no one has the cure, just treating

symptoms right now.

I personally have a strong faith in God that gets me thru, plus the support of

all the others here is a real blessing.

Take care and God Bless

My daughter was dx'd with FM at age 15. She had a tough go for about

1 yr. She was fine for 5 yrs. Now she's now 21, finishing school &

having a lot of fatigue & pain issues.

I would do anything for her not to have the life of pain/fatigue that

we have.
