Hi everyone,

I just found this website, this is my first post. I am writing to ask for adivice. I was diagnosed for CFS about 3 or 4 years ago. It was really bad for a while but then the last year or so I have been feeling a bit more energy and have been able to do more. Lately though everthing stresses me out and have been feeling so tired again. I don't feel like doing anything at all and don't get much help at home to do chores. I feel as if no one except for the doctor's believe I have this and am getting no support from my husband or family. How does everyone cope with this. Sometimes, I think that maybe I don't have this and that it's all in my head. Please help!

Dear Jenny D:

CHRONIC FATIGUE IS NOT IN YOUR HEAD JEN.

I too am new to this forum but I know how you feel. Chronic Fatigue is really tough. Like you I have weeks or months when I can't hardly get out of bed and then I feel a little better. Stress most definetly aggravates it. Unfortunately hon there is no cure at this time. It is true many people don't believe or understand this and think we are exagerating. You need to get your family to help you otherwise tell them you are going on strike! Seriously, you can't do it all.

Good luck and write whenever you want, eventhough I am new too I have been posting alot these past two days.
