back in '05 I started getting (major) symptoms that were uncommon with the normal (crohns) symptoms. Every doc I have seen has said that my symptons are very unlike the usual Crohns patient. I came across some info on CFIDS last month and after reading this website I am almost convinced that CFIDS is what I have in addition to Crohns. I almost think the Crohns triggered the onstart of the CFIDS or all the immune suppressors did. Has anyone else experienced these CFIDS symptoms? or have any knowledge or experience with it? Any help/discussion would be greatly appreciated!

It seems like there are several points of crossover between the two diseases, and you make a very astute observation with it. I have experienced the fatigue, the memory-ineffecacy (yeah I just made that up but it sounds cool), and the tender lymph nodes. However, I don't have the post-exercise malaise or joint/muscle pain. I think this is definitely a subject that should be examined more, and I too would like to see a discussion.

Isn't CFIDS also very difficult to diagnose and treat?
