An old friend of the family has apparently been diagnosed with this.

And all this time I thought she was just a lazy fat ass...

Yes. It is basically like mono, but occurs often. It does not give an excuse to be a fatass.

I always wondered the same about add and ADHD. Seems like a sorry excuse for being unproductive. I have family members that seem to need the meds though.

I prefer CFS with brown gravy vs cream gravy!

Are you a communist?

If you can take drugs for it, then it's a thing.

You shut your hoar mouth!!! ADD meds are delicious.

I can tell you that many OCD sufferers exhibit ADD and ADHD symptoms, because their compulsive thoughts make it to where they can't concentrate.

OCD is absolutely a real thing, and not what people typically think it is. A lot of people confuse OCPD for OCD.

I can say that at least that one form of ADD and ADHD which affects people with OCD is real. It is caused by compulsive thought patterns that healthy human beings don't have.

But WTH is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Smoke too much of the chronic, be tired all day?

There are clear neurological differences between controls and those with adhd on tasks involving attention.

if serious, yes it's real. you feel tired all the time, no matter how much you sleep

I know what OCD is. What is OCPD?

The PD stands for personality disorder.

Only when I can bring back Cuban cigars.

No

ADHD is real. Long write up and I'll get to that later. I think CFS has some merit. It's more in tune with depression/anxiety though.

Please spare us. Some of us would like to stay not depressed.

I could never get tired of listening to Dr. Dre

Yeah it's called being lazy and needing an excuse.

I believe it is more than likely a real syndrome/disease, but I don't have any personal experience with the syndrome. I do have experience with fatigue. I would would venture to say that it is an unseen disease.

I suffer from lupus and one of the major symptoms is fatigue. Some days I have energy to go about daily activities, and others it is a struggle from one task to another. The best way I have found to explain it to healthy people is with the spoon theory.

So if someone does have chronic fatigue syndrome I would imagine they can relate to the spoon theory.

Pharmaceutical companies are making **** up now

Some cases of chronic fatigue are due to chronic infection with the mono viruses (EBV & CMV) but most of them are depression in my experience.

It's as real as Fibromyalgia!

Over-active nerves my ass!

chronic

The chick who wrote Seabiscuit apparently had a very serious case of it.
