- CFS. One theory suggests that an immune system disorder is to blame. Yockey said
Yokkey said CFS had been over-publicized, and as a result, patients who claim to have the disease often are not taken seriously. This makes things more difficult for people who have CFS.
■ Mental dysfunction, such as confusion, memory loss and sleep disorders. Antidepressants have relieved symptoms in some paediatric physicians' theory that CFS may be a neurological disorder.
Because CFS has no known cause, physicians must diagnose it through the process of elimination, by determining what other illness may be causing CFS-like symptoms. Yockey said. Physicians look for treatable or life-threatening illnesses before they
Caldera said that although she felt 80 percent better than she did when she first caught CFS, she still would be careful about overdoing it.
"it is a very frustrating disease for both doctor and patient," Yockey said. "CFS is a very real entity, there's no question about that. But the etiology (cause) is currently unknown."
Stuart Cohen, clinical director of the Department of Epidemiology and Infection Control at the University of California-Davis School of Medicine, helped develop a working etiology for physicians to diagnose CFS.
consider CFS.
Students whose illnesses have been diagnosed as CFS usually take on half a load of classes and keep their stamina, Yockey said.
Yockey the students he had treated for CFS mostly had been graduate students, like Caldera. The doctor who diagnosed her case of CFS.
But for now, there is no cure for the disease.
But thanks to a reduced course load and a combination of a good night's sleep and meditation, Calden received her doctorate in sociology from the University, is a researcher for the University, studying socio-economic development in infants.
Until Caldera learned more about CFS, the initial diagnosis terrified her. She said she was not allowed to not be able to finish school.
The mystery of CFS is the same type of problem physicians were dealing with in the early 1890s, when AIDS began to multiply, he said.
Unlike AIDS, CFS is not life-threatening. Cohen said some cases had cleared up in a matter of weeks; others had stretched on for years.
"I have not heard that anyone has died," he said. "But a lot of people feel like they'd like to."
