how do you explain to others what it is like to have CFIDS

[Guest guest]

I've had CFIDS for 17 years, the people in my family and friends, they " just

don't get it " and I thought I had seen on some CFS site, a informtional piece,

that one could print out and give to others, so they could understand, All I

hear when I say I have CFS, is " OH, I am chronically fatigued too " . I get so

tired of hearing that. Any suggestions ? in Oregon
