Anyone with child with chronic fatigue syndrome?

[tich26]

Hi,

My son (now 9) was critically ill 4 year ago and since then he's been intermittently poorly with similar symptoms each time. I've gone backwards and forwards to dr's and just kept being told that some children are just poorly.

There's been lots of other issues going on though.

The last few months he has got worse and finally we've been referred to a paediatrician - she immediately diagosed Chronic Fatigue Syndrom.

Just wondering if anybody out there is dealing with this as it is so exhausting for all.

Thanks,
Tich
