CFS stands for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. It is felt there is a problem with the immune system. Some doctors feel it is all in your head. But this is not the truth. There really is a lot of pain. Some people think they have Lymes or Lyme Disease (sometimes misspelled Lime Disease). Some people are diagnosed with a diagnosis of MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and some are told they have arthritis. There is no cure, but there is help. There is treatment. There is self-help. This is a real illness. It is physical and emotional. There are relationship problems and financial problems. There are real symptoms. Some people think it's associated with AIDS. Some think it's a virus. Some think it is caused by stress. Some think it's psychological or psychosomatic. Patients are often treated poorly. I know. There is often depression associated with CFS. That's why I've included Doctor Jokes and Lawyer Jokes. You can apply for SSD or Disability Benefits if you have CFS. You get this from the Social Security Administration. There are groups that offer alternative treatments. CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, AIDS, Lyme Disease, Immune System, MS, Multiple Sclerosis -some people think these may all be related in some way. Diagnosis is difficult. Self-help is available. A cure for this illness is not. Treatment for your symptoms depends on your relationships with your doctors and lawyers. Jokes help relieve tension. CFS may be a virus. Some say it's psychological or psychosomatic or related to arthritis or emotional upset. It can ruin your financial situation. You can get help for depression. You can qualify for SSD (Social Security Disability) by contacting the Social Security Administration. Alternative treatments may be the best way to deal with CFS.
