| | Chronic fatigue syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The UK and the Netherlands have particularly seen disagreements between biomedical researchers and their adherents, and psychiatrists (particularly proponents of cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT) and supporters of the theory that CFS is psychological in origin, and can be "cured" entirely by therapy and exercise. | | | Pain: Pain in CFS may include muscle pain, joint pain (without joint swelling or redness, and may be transitory), headaches (particularly of a new type, severity, or duration), lymph node pain, sore throats, and abdominal pain (as a symptom of irritable bowel syndrome). | | | A lawyer, social worker or counselor can be beneficial in helping the patient determine their best course, and may assist the patient with applying for work-related disability, social programs, and other aid. |

| | Chronic Fatigue Syndrome |
| | The onset of psychiatric illness in CFS is shown to be secondary to the impairment of body function in general and the chronic pain that is part of the condition. | | | Treatment of the condition is aimed at ensuring an adequate degree of rest in conjunction with a supervised course of gentle graded exercises throughout the course of the illness. | | | Any decision to maintain a patient in the work environment represents a balance between the severity and likely chronicity of the condition and the likely socio-economic effects of being displaced from the work force for a protracted period of time. |
