It mainly depends how well you can handle the symptoms.

Your first concern might be your working place. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy should help you to get a better understanding of how much labor and stress you still can endure without your symptoms getting worse. And then most likely it will need some fine-tuning – you can work less hard, fewer hours long or both. Once you have found the right level you can try to improve on that later on.

The very same principles apply to your private life. Try to find a level that still is acceptable for all involved persons. If you have children at an age where they still need your daily care, talk to them, explain the situation and see if there are some minor tasks and errands of which you could be relieved without your children feeling neglected – parental love after all is not something defined by laundry or candy shopping.

And even if your doctor has not found anything that in his opinion would warrant any medication, you still might like to give it a try. You could ask your doctor to prescribe antidepressants and you might like to go online shopping for kratom. If none of these drugs bring any improvement after a period of time, you can stop taking them.

But sometimes they will, and a severe handicap like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome should always imply that you take every chance for improvement you can see – and if it was just for knowing that you really tried.
