My partner has CFS - I have read alot about this illness and my partner goes to great lengths to answer any questions - He is currently being prescribed equasym by his doctor which is having a positive effect on his health however he is now considering the modified release tablets.
I am very supportive and understanding of his illness - the problem I am having is the stigma and negative views of other people - My friend after speaking to her sister who is a nurse who in her opinion advises that CFS does not exist (not a view I hold) and that it is a form of mental illness, all sufferers are nutters and that I should avoid a relationship with this person at all costs. I have spoken to my partner who showed me various international website to confirm the validity of this illness. Can you please advise with regards to the comments i have heard with regards to mental illness. i see no indication of this from my partner however I would be grateful for any advice you could give me.
