    Try searching out some physical therapists who treat chronic fatigue. Generally "rest" isn't the answer.

    But be *sure* of your diagnosis. What did the blood test show that made your doc pick chronic fatigue?

    I worked at a clinic that got a lot of referrals from a rheumatologist who did a lot of immunological work with her patients before she would diagnose chronic fatigue. (cuz the symptoms can be caused by so many other things, she was very careful to be sure it was an auto-immune issue before she'd let it go)

    She also sent us her auto-immune chronic-pain-in-the-connective-tissue (the word has utterly escaped my head!) patients. It was the fashionable catch-all diagnosis for women for a while, but her patients REALLY had it.
