In my previous post I explained that the CFS/ME sufferer is usually in a persistent state of ‘fight or flight’, even though most like me in the early days would argue that I don’t actually feel stressed - sure, I am concerned that I don’t feel very well and my anxiety has increased because none of the medical professionals I have consulted seem to know why?

Let’s start with the name. For most I guess ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’ would seem to be fairly descriptive, sufferers feel tired most of the time. Oh, if only it was a simple as that, the solution would also be simple, improve your quality of sleep and hey presto!
