@celia16 For those of us with exhaustion and lack of stamina, it’s been a long slow road to convince the medical establishment that this is definitely not a mental health issue. Many, but not all, health care workers now understand that something is physically wrong with our bodies. Tales of marathon runners, etc. who can barely climb a flight of stairs abound on the internet and in newspapers. I say to my family and doctor “I do get discouraged, but I’m not depressed (and I’ve experienced major depression so I understand the difference). Glad you are feeling better…keep it up!

@essiee , I appreciate that input. I do understand that the LC symptoms can be severe and resistant to treatment. And, that they may not be due to depression. I was just wondering if anyone had treated it that way, nonetheless. Sort of like treating the symptoms instead of the cause. And, that because there doesn’t seem to be any known treatment for LC. At least my doctors don’t know of any…..yet.
