Meanwhile reading a book authored by a Canadian doctor I came across what I refer to the psychological aspect of this illness. I had then requested to be referred to a psychologist which my then doctor said wouldn't help. I started seeing one anyway. The stange thing is within two years I ended up changing family doctors resulting in better care for myself and thus substantial improvement in my symptoms. I had been seeing the psychologist for about three years before I was prescribed effexor and find that it has done wonders for me. I know for myself it wouldn't have worked without the counselling.

If you look up the symptoms of it they match the CFS. I'm not saying that the whole basis of the disorder is psychological but it does affect our well-being. It is very hard to draw a line to say where the psychological and physical separate especially with these syndromes.

Your symptons are exactly what I have been going through and after years of searching found out I have Hepatitis C. Have you been checked for that?
