Does anyone know anyone or have any experience with chronic fatigue syndrome? I feel like it just has such a negative connotation from everyone I’ve mentioned it to. People will be like, “I’m always tired too,” or “we all get tired,” which I think is so wrong. Curious to hear what you all think.

@zachary-pottle @dori-smith Fellow ME sufferer here! The name CFS is such a damaging term. A great site, though no longer updated (unfortunately the woman who ran it passed away from ME quite a few years ago) – is HFME.org. Even though it was written a decade ago, there are so many helpful & educational articles and I could relate to so much of…Read More

Between the Fibro, EDS, CFS, AG, and a small child I keep the coffee industry booming LOL That, you don’t look sick and.. try yoga grrr I used to keep The Spoon…Read More

I was diagnosed with Pots disease 2 years ago and I have a feeling I also have CFS. But I don’t know how to go about being diagnosed.

@brynsmommy38 Do you by any chance have a hypermobility syndrome of sorts? POTS and CFS typically goes along with Marfans, EDS etc.. As far as I know there is no specific testing for CFS, just the totality of other testing, diagnostic criteria, sleep studies etc. I’d simply ask my doctor flat out if it’s a possibility because of.. XYZ…Read More

Boy that was fun.I don’t want to depend on opioid to run my life. Is there anyone who knows of any all natural products that can help me sleep? I have tried Melatonin and Magnesium and they…Read More

All I do is smoke some really good Indica. I can’t take Melatonin as it does nothing for me. Maybe you can look into valerian root, lemon balm, or passion flower, as well.

I live in an area that is very bad for drugs. That being said, as someone with a chronic condition I’m not even comfortable taking pain medication because I feel like it makes me a target. Does anyone else run into this problem when dating? I won’t even take gabapentin because apparently it has a high street value

That’s definitely something to keep in mind… It’s awful that this is even something that has to be considered when we take these kinds of medications. My father, who lived with chronic pain alongside his disabilities, always told me about how he never discussed his medications with people after catching theft in the act, time and time again.…Read More

I’m not sacrificing my comfort for fears. I have taken them for over 13 years at this moment. I was born and raised in an area, where YES, you may be a target in the parking lot etc. They do sit and watch, lurk behind you in line to hear what you are picking up etc. Pharmacies in those areas typically will have a guard go to your car with you…Read More

I’ve had (been diagnosed with it) since 2009, so I get this a LOT. It’s really frustrating, because people hear “fatigue” and associate it with “tired” when in reality they’re two very different things. Just like you can be “tired” and not want to sleep, you can still be tired and not fatigued.
ETA: because I thought hitting enter would take me…Read More
