My CFS began decades ago after my "recovery" from an unknown viral infection.

The internal med specialist I saw at the time said I seemed to have contracted a malaria type of illness - this was in the 70s.

He was the one doc at that time who refused to go to the "it's all in your head" excuse. I was grateful. Since then, I've found a few docs who accept the facts of my illness and thankfully, although untreatable, my symptoms have lessened over the decades.
