I have a friend who has had chronic fatigue syndrome for about 30 years. Whenever I get an idea that might help her, I pass it on to her, which I know might be irritating but I'm trying to help her get well, if possible. Doing research on malnutrition, I observed that the two ailments seem to have similar symptoms. Might chronic fatigue syndrome be an exacerbated form of malnutrition, but one that doesn't actually lead to starvation?
