Like fibromyalgia (FMS), this syndrome is recently becoming more accepted by some in the conventional medical establishment. Many people lump fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome together as they appear to have many similar manifestations both physically and mentally, while FMS tends to experience trigger point pain more than CFS which has more prevalence of fatigue-related symptoms. Naturopathic doctors use many diagnostic tools to establish the cause of this syndrome and can then treat on this basis using detoxification, herbal and homeopathic preparations, acupuncture, and nutritional supplementation. Please read the section on FMS (link) for more information.
