MD here. I agree with this completely. I will also add that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is unlikely one disease although we are not smart enough yet to know to divide them more specifically.<p>I&#x27;ve &quot;fixed&quot; cases like this by diagnosing and treating rare rheumatological and sleep disorders. However, most patients clearly have psych or personality disorders. Is the mental illness a cause or effect?<p>It&#x27;s my job not to give up and blow off patients. Just realize that there is a ton about medicine that is unknown still--we are scientists searching for answers too.
