CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME &
FIBROMYALGIA: Information and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia are still labeled
as "fad" diagnoses by some less enlightened practitioners, but
these two potentially related conditions can cause varying degrees of
muscle and joint pain, extreme fatigue, exhaustion and depression, and
are very real for a combined total of as many as 12 million sufferers.
Both CFS and Fibromyalgia can share some similar symptoms -- fatigue,
pain, concentration difficulties, and sleep disturbances are common. They
are also both difficult to diagnose and treat.
For comprehensive information
on these conditions, how to get diagnosed, the best practitioners, conventional
treatments, alternative treatments, nutritional approaches, plus resources
to help you in your effort to development a treatment plan and live well,
read the book Living
Well With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
Here are factsheets and Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
