Help For Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients might find it therapeutic to meet with other people who have this illness, and often this can be accomplished by joining a local chronic fatigue syndrome support group. Support groups are not suitable for everyone, and some chronic fatigue syndrome patients may find that a support group really adds to their stress rather than relieving it. Most support groups are free, collect deliberate donations, or charge modest membership dues to cover basic expenses.

A useful support group should include of both the newcomers and patients who have had chronic fatigue syndrome for longer periods of time to provide a balance of perspectives for the group. It should also comprise people with whom the chronic fatigue syndrome patient feels comfortable. The group also comprises leaders who empathize, gently draw out shy members, and keep others from dominating, and who distill discussion into useful information. The group should have a history indicating the group is stable and meeting the requirements of its members.

Some support groups might put their own interests before those of the individual patient. Groups that engage in any of the negative activities should be avoided like that of promise sure cures and quick solutions. The group should conduct meetings that are mainly gripe sessions. These kinds of groups urge patients to stop prescribed treatment and recommend a single solution to their problem. They insist that patients reveal private or sensitive information. They also demand allegiance to a cult-like, charismatic leader. They also charge high fees from the patient. They always require patients to purchase products.
