The causes of chronic fatigue syndrome are unknown. Possible causes include: disorders in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, infectious agents, immunologic dysfunctions, or a nutritional deficiency. No data was found about masturbation as a possible cause for chronic fatigue syndrome.

CFS and Fibromyalgia
I am a 37 year old male that has been suffering SEVERELY from CFS, Fibromyalgia and associated conditionssince I was 23 or 24.

I have been addicted to narcotics for 12 years since my symptoms started, and now take maethadone daily because I couldnt and can not deal with the pain and weakness, and the fact that MANY DOCTORS think this is some bogus ailment and was hard to find doctors that understood what I am going through.

Long story short. I have been on methadone daily for past 6 years at a clinic because it was the ONLY relief I get.

ALSO, are there any other males out there that suffer from this. I noticed that it is PRIMARILY women that have CFS and associted conditions.

PLEASE, HELP
