Does The Person From Whom You’re Taking Advice Believe ME/CFS Is Neurological … Or Psychological?

The differences in opinion (as to whether ME/CFS is physical or psychological) causes a lot of controversy in the ME/CFS community.

Recent research discoveries may help in settling these differences (more…) but for now, there are two distinct approaches: that either Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is psychological… or that it is indeed a physical, neurological illness.

So when you pick up a book, or are referred to a specialist, or when you see your doctor, it is important to find out how the author / specialist / doctor regards your illness.

If you have Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, or ICD-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ICD-CFS) (all neurological) as opposed to Chronic Fatigue or Fatigue Syndrome (psychological), then seeing a health professional, or reading books by authors who believe that the illness is real, physical, and biological is likely to be much more helpful for you.

Be extremely cautious with any advice you might receive from those who do not believe that Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and ICD-CFS is real, physical, and neurological. The advice could potentially be harmful to your recovery.
