I am a male, 52 years old - (too old for blogging no doubt!) - and have had CFIDS for 8 years. The diagnosis process was almost a full 2 years and, as anyone who knows about this insidious problem understands, you walk out of many doctor's offices where they find absolutely nothing wrong with you. Important note here: My wife, God bless her, immediately got out on the net and gathered weeks worth of the latest information on this disease (yes it's a disease! - it doesn't kill, just robs life) - and she annotated and cross referenced it to present to our family GP. I am twice blessed - not only did my wife make every effort to understand what was behind my condition, but my family doctor of 15 years, and a personal friend did as well. I work with Physician's in my job every day, and I can't tell you how rare this is. Having both - while now I look at it as absolutely essential, then I just saw it as a blessing.
