There is no cure for ME/CFS at this time. In fact, there is no treatment for ME/CFS, only treatments for the symptoms of ME/CFS, such as headaches, sore throats or sleep problems. Some patients partially recover, a few may fully recover and others may find their symptoms get worse. Others experience periodic relapses. Since little is known about the cause and progression of ME/CFS, the course of your individual illness cannot be predicted. It is important to realize that people with ME/CFS can be helped with appropriate care from a health care provider who understands ME/CFS.
