My sister is 12 years old and diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. It is terrible, she misses many many days of school, and nothing makes her feel better. she has been tested for, i dont even know how many, viruses, diseasies, etc. All negative. She has been on many medication none that seem to be working. She is becoming depressed, too. She is overwhlemed with school work after being absent. She is now using crutches because one of her main symptoms is leg pain and weakness. She doesnt have enough energy to walk, and crutches help her not have to use that energy of her legs. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is terrible for a child. Hopefully there will soon be a cure or people can find something that work to make themselves feel better. Certain medications or treatments ( such as yoga) work for some people.
