Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum answered:The good news is that chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia are very treatable. The bad news is that most physicians are not yet trained in proper treatment. Because of this, it is important to find a physician who is specially trained in these illnesses, beyond simply using the few FDA-approved medications.
