One of the most frustrating things with this disease is that you can keep telling the doctor that you are severely fatigued, hurt all over, and have other problems that are interferring with your ability to get on with your life, but the tests will come back non-definitive, and the doctors don't understand and often think that you are just a "whiner" or are "depressed", exagerate when you could be just trying to find an answer and do something to help you do good meaningful things in your life.
