I am not going to flesh out the points, I just want to give a short overview – I hope you can fill out the details. You can read the thyroid list above to get some details.
- Don't believe everything you read on the internet
- Don't whine at the doctor – Instead be factual and quantifiable about your symptoms
- Don't assume all your symptoms are ME/CFS-related
- Don't smoke (Duh! Should be obvious.)
- Don't accept "The tests were normal" – know that proper tests for ME/CFS are not ready yet
- Don't hide supplements or unprescribed medication from your doctor
- Don't asume that "natural" or over-the-counter products are universally good or safe
- Don't ignore the warning signs that you need a new doctor – though finding a proper one may be difficult
- Don't be silent when you can be an advocate for ME/CFS
- Don't give up hope
The list could be probably be improved, but hey…

Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
