As someone who has suffered from CFS for a long time, it is definitely not imaginary.
To say it’s purely physical is discounting the mental aspect of the disease. I personally suffered trauma as a child and I’ve seen first hand what strong negative emotions can do to the body.
I would think it unlikely that there will be a miracle drug that will cure it, I believe it is a disease of both the mental and physical.
For anyone affected by CFS and think that trauma may play a part, the book “The Body Keeps the Score” has helped me get more energy and control back.
- rfugger 7y agoI don't disagree, but I still have hope. Most CFS cases come on suddenly with an infection, and something breaks in the body. That situation may have been brought on by a gradual weakening of the system over time due to stress, etc., but that doesn't mean that whatever has broken can't be fixed or reset in some way.
