Any doctors out there that believe in "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"?
My 22 year old son, has been having alot of symptoms, swollen lymph nodes in his neck and groin, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, rashes, significant weight loss, abdominal pain, scalp psoriasis among others. He went to the ER who sent him home with ibuprofen, but ran no tests. Then he went to the family doctor who said the same, nothing wrong, no tests ran. He then went to a third doctor who found the swollen glands and ran general bloodwork that came back perfect. The doctor is now running a thyroid and liver function panel. If it comes back clear, he is being referred to an immunologist/allergist. The doc he saw today does not believe in Epstein/Barr virus or Chronic fatigue. We are frustrated, any ideas? Anybody out there have experienced these symptoms?

BTW, so many of my newsletter readers have developed FMS/CFIDS from having mono or EBV. It does sound like your son has developed immune/autoimmune problems. I used to have chronic swollen glands and fatigue, made worse by stress.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a common write off for docs who don’t know how to diagnose someone. I don’t really belive in it but it could be caused by another item such as myalgia and arthralgia.
But if it is true here are some things that help, using medical care and additional therapies of pacing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET). Interventions involving rehabilitation therapies have been shown to be at least partially effective.
Some therapies recommended by different sources include:
- Adaptive pacing
- Cognitive behavior therapy
- Envelope theory
- Graded exercise therapy
- Yoga
- Physiotherapy
