There is NO cure for CFS, just like there is NO clinical test for diagnosing the illness. There are "cures" for SOME of the many symptoms that a person with CFS suffers with. CFS requires a change in lifestyle in order to manage the disease and improve a patients 'quality of life.' If diagnosed at an early onset along with the necessary lifestyle changes and medical management of the symptoms, people have been known to go into long term periods of 'remission' so to speak. CFS can get worse if not properly diagnosed (and thus treated) at its onset.

Anyone have chronic muscle pain and fatigue after eating food?

I'm researching the same symptoms and in my wanderings, I've seen plenty of references to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As I am at the beginning of my search and have yet to see a doctor, I won't put much here in regards to that, except that it seems to be badly triggered by a high carb/sugar meal. There are other symptoms as well. You might want to check it out.


Lyme disease connections to chronic fatigue syndrome?

Lyme Disease Often Missed as a Cause of Chronic Fatigue SyndromeLyme disease is caused by a spiral shaped bacteria (spirochete) called Borrelia burgdorferi. They can be transmitted by tics, but also by mosquitoes. The spirochets have been called "the great imitators" because they can mimic virtually any disease, which is why they are often misdiagnosed. Anyone with chronic illness and especially those with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia need to consider Lyme disease as the cause.Patients with chronic Lyme disease most commonly have fatigue, joint and muscle pain, sleep disorders and cognitive problems (brain fog). In addition, infection with Borrelia often results in a low grade encephalopathy (infection of the brain) that can result in depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, twitching and is associated with neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, dementia such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease). In addition, this infection often results in hormonal deficiencies, abnormal activation of coagulation and immune dysfunction, which potentiate the symptoms. Patients with chronic Lyme disease often complain of "strange" or "weird" symptoms that cannot be explained even after going to numerous doctors and often results in the patient being told that it must be psychological.
