Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome All in My Head?

In my five years on this website, one question has emerged well beyond

all others as my most-hated one to see: " Is chronic fatigue syndrome

all in my head? " It means someone is not only suffering from dozens of

symptoms that have forced a massive change in their lives, but that

the person is also battling self doubt, guilt and even shame - because

they're sick. In talking to person after person who's asked it, I've

discovered that it's usually because someone else (or several people)

have posed that question to them.

In the face of decades of research, it's astounding that we still have

to contend with this question. To see evidence that the answer is a

resounding NO, read this: FAQ - Is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome All in My

Head?

If someone asks you that question, tell them, " Absolutely not, " show

them that FAQ, and, above all, do not let their skepticism become your

own.
