S Help with CFS?
I am 13 yrs old and i have just been diasnosed with chronic fatique syndrome. I have to wait a month to begin treatment and im scared, what will they do to me?? Also i heard it takes 2 years to treat CFS is that true?? Lastly what can i do to make myself feel better until then?

A lot of questions from such a young lady. Don't be afraid. Your treatment depends on what kind of a doctor is treating you. None of them should be painful. If you are seeing a psychologist for the accompanying depression, he won't hurt you. All he/she will do is listen to you talk about things. Other doctors may prescribe medication for treatment of symptoms or even physical therapy (which is nothing more than exercising with specific exercises). You might want to consider seeing a massage therapist for a weekly or less often massage. Anyhow CFS normally goes away on its own with or without treatment.

hey emily i am 13 too and i just got diagnosed with post viral fatiuge syndrome ive been looking for someone to write to whos got the same problem so if you ever need someone to talk to im open Report It
