What amazes (and frustrates) me are the people who persist in the belief that CFS is just feeling "tired all the time". (Diagnostic guidelines from other places? You're _not helping_ this.)

And they think, therefore, that (a) they understand what it's like, (b) it's no big deal, and (c) you can just *poof* exercise, de-stress, and positive-think your way out of it.
