There is NO test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The diagnosis is simply one of exclusion and your history: unexplained fatigue for at least 6 months along with cognitive dysfunction (for example--unable to think clearly, concentrate or memory problems).
But the label of "Chronic Fatigue" doesn't tell you what to do about it. It just tells you that your brain and your body aren't working correctly.
Here's what most doctors don't understand about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:
The immune system in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferers is ABNORMAL. The immune system is over-active. In fact, many people suffering with Chronic Fatigue symptoms developed it after some kind of infection--whether they know it or not.
And as the months go by without proper treatment, the immune system becomes terribly unbalancedlike a teeter-totter with someone on only one side.
