I've been recently diagnosed with CFS and am new to this forum. Just wondered if any of you have advice on any of the following;

1. Pain management - I have days where pain is unbearable in my legs and hips and am taking co-codamol daily which has little to no effect.

2. Maintaining a routine - I am really struggling to keep to a routine. This is really early days for me but just trying to get up at the same time every day is difficult.

3. Returning to work - I have been signed off by doctors for 6 weeks and am due back in the next few weeks (full time) and am really worried that I will fall at the first hurdle. have you found it is better to wait until completely over this illness to return?

I am currently waiting for an assesment for therapy which may help me cope with different aspects of this illness, however, in the meatime I would be really greatful for any advice.

      Hi Simon,

      Have you found that it has worked for you?

      I have looked into several herbal supplements, however, being out of work am concerned I could spend out a lot of money on something that proves useless!
