Should I Consult A Neurologist For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Hi I have been diagnosed by my G.P as having cfs. I am currently experiencing worsening symptoms and am unable to walk any distance without a wheelchair. I am worried that the relapse is not really improving and it has been six months. Should i have been reviewed by a neurologist

A neurologist is a reasonable choice of specialist to look into your ongoing weakness which has not improved in 6 months. It may have been beneficial for you to have been seen by a neurologist before being diagnosed with CFS since this is a diagnosis of EXCLUSION meaning that all other possible causes for weakness or gait difficulties could not be explained better by any other diagnosis.
