Do you suffer from Chronic Fatigue?

Chronic fatigue and fibromylagia is a huge problem in the US. Most doctors don't have a clue about what or why people get it. You would do well to know the right terminology when talking to your doctor to help you advocate for yourself. Share your suggestions and concerns by clicking the comment link.
It's common for a doctor to ask where you hurt and how badly you hurt, but as you likely know if you have fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, pain is a lot more complicated than that. We need to understand how we hurt, and since we're not talking about injuries or physical degeneration, it helps to know why we hurt as well.
