CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME |
|||||||
For Caregivers & Family MembersChronic fatigue syndrome not only affects patients, it can have a significant impact on family members and caregivers. In fact, they can feel the same frustration and sense of loss that patients experience. And they often make financial and social sacrifices, essentially sharing this illness with the CFS patient. It's not only important for family members and caregivers to understand how CFS affects a patient and to know how to help provide support for their loved ones, it's equally important for them to recognize the impact the illness is having on them and to learn to deal with this appropriately. Having a family member or close friend with CFS can help you discover inner strength and the power of patience, endurance, compassion and companionship. But achieving that ideal is far more likely when you also take care of your own needs. Related Information
