Chronic fatigue syndrome may have a post-viral infection origin

This argument could be applied to any condition with psychosomatic indicators.

Your suggestion that somatically-involved conditions aren't 'real' is offensive and what gives rise to the stigma that means we can't talk about this in the first place.

There's no telling what's real once you are willing to go down that route, least of all a doctors opinion. If someone stops displaying symptoms that could just be a non blinded doctor and a placebo.

I think the offense is going there without any double blinded science and then relying on non reproducible fields of research to annoy the patient.
