 Chronic Fatigue SYNDROME v Chronic Fatigue

I wonder how many people confuse Chronic Fatigue (CF) with Chronic
Fatigue SYNDROME (CFS)?

There is a MAJOR DIFFERENCE and it's Post Exertional Malaise - often
delayed.

With CFS, during periods of wellness where you feel better, you may
overexert (emotionally, physically or both) yourself & within 24 hours
you relapse into a state of flu/viral/fatigue symptoms which leave you
TOTALLY STUFFED & KNACKERED and then you slowly recover before WHAM you
do the same thing again.

Unless you suffer this condition, YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND HOW
BAD THIS REACTION CAN BE and any ingnorant attempt to compare CFS to CF
deserves condemnation.

Graded Exercise to within VERY CAREFUL tolerated limits can help.

Depression & Anxiety tend to be diagnosed symptoms causing  CF but if
you the Post Exertional Malaise then your condition will generally be
the WORSE CFS.

How I wish mine was only CF -- Sorry CF sufferers, but CFS is a MUCH
WORSE CONDITION to have.

CFS sufferers generally 'get' anxious & depressed c/- of their
symptoms.

Because long-term CFS is almost impossible to cure by the medical
profession, it is GENERALLY easier to put us CFS sufferers into the
Psychiatrict basket and pump us full of  sedatives and hope that we
just give up and remain sedated.

And for those of us with just enough energy, well they'll just waste
our time & limited energy reserves on CBT - cognitive behaviour
therapy.

I have my garden hose ready for the flames that will come.

Do you mean the flames along the lines of "what's this off-topic rant about
CFS doing on this newsgroup?"

Anyway, look here:

Ha, ... Hah, Ha!

One of the common demoninators of all the Kooks on this ng is that they
all suffer from a particular health condition.   Therefore they reason,
what applies to them should apply to everybody.

Well, it don't.

Further, it appears that his pet forum is so slow and so stale that he
is trying to recruit people from this ng to help save it.  Could be
that nobody believes him on his own forum?  Why am I not surprised?

I am NOT like these kooks, because I do NOT have any pet issues.  Nor,
do I have any allegiance to either nutrition or science.  I offer a
full spectrum approach to natural health.

All the Kooks in this ng have one pet issue.  And, they always offer
only one approach or solution which they always take to extremes.  They
always preach their extremism with religious fanaticism.

By their fruits, you shall know the Kooks.
