When people have unknown body pain, they tend to blame their mental problems. However, I found that's not always the case. Very often, physical problems can be the true causes of our mental unwellness. CFS is such an illness that has been misunderstood as "mental problem" for long time. As a sufferer myself, I like to share with others about my struggling and fighting experience with this fierce invisible disease. --- This is the journal of my physical wellness.

Misunderstand CFS
Another "symptome" that CFS sufferers suffer is the isolation from friends and family. This disease is also called "invisible disease, which means the sufferers do not look sick (some of them do look sick though) and medical science also cannot define what exact the illness is. Thus the CFS patients are commonly pictured as "mentally ill", "mentally lazy", "negative personality", etc. Usually at beginning CFS sufferer would try very hard to be understood, but the more they try, the more they feel the misjudgement. And finally they would give up and stay alone.
