Newest Review: ... course we do not know.... because not enough research has been done. Probably because its an illness that hasnt been taken seriously!!

Imagine my supprise when l found a topic on ME/CFS on dooyoo. Its true that many people do not understand this illness and as a long term sufferer this is very very very frustrating indeed.

Having had an ex-partner who was diagnosed with CFS having displayed many of the symptoms of it I do know that there are long term effects of the illness both from a physical and a psychological view point. Not least is the perception by some people in society that is just one of those made up illnesses by the medical fraternity and the you often hear comments like "Load of rubbish, this was not around in my day". ...
