I found out earlier this week after countless tests that I have CFS, I was told it might only last 3 years but I've done a bit of reading and am worried that I might have this for life. I have heard about 'pacing' but not really sure what this means, also not really sure what professional help I should seek out. I'm glad that I have an answer for my never ending tiredness, no energy and constant flu symptoms but I'm already experiencing people saying 'oh you're just tired get over it' and the lack of understanding is getting to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Georgia66685,

    I try to avoid any "processed" foods and that appears to help, veg and basic grains with quality protein included in my diet, plenty of rest between doing stuff I want to do or need to do.

    Planning the day out and what I want to acheive out of that day slowly increasing the stuff I do, but resting when I'm tired is important.
