Research Notes on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Support Groups
Chronic fatigue syndrome refers to a condition in which an individual experiences a feeling of exhaustion and total lack of energy for six months or more.1 Because physicians are unable to determine the exact cause of this condition, treatment is aimed at relieving the symptoms associated with it.2 Although support groups offer support to CFS patients, some patients feel more stressed after group meetings. These individuals may find more benefit in online forums as opposed to in-person support meetings.1
Fast Facts:
- When looking for a support group, look for a group where there are both new and long-term members, there is little or no cost, and the group is led by a professional with experience in dealing with CFS.2
- Be leery of groups who ask for private information, charge high fees or require patients to purchase products.1
- Physicians are excellent sources of referrals for support groups.
