I know there are a few on here who are affected by this.

This week in the Lancet Psychiatry, a group of researchers at Oxford University, led by Prof Michael Sharpe, published a long-term follow-up study looking at the use of a graded exercise programme and cognitive behavioural therapy for CFS/ME sufferers. The study concludes that at two-year follow-up, patients who received this type of treatment showed a sustained reduction in fatigue and a sustained improvement in their overall wellbeing. Graded exercise and CBT proved more beneficial to patients than standard medical treatment, resting or “living within your limits”. In a field of medicine where there is much conjecture but few multicentre controlled trials on large groups of patients, this work certainly seems to provide good support for the use of these treatments in CFS sufferers.

Horrible illness, lets hope this is some positive news.
