Is it possible to have me/cfs yet be unresponsive to medicine?
My symptoms started 9 years ago and i have yet to find a diagnosis. I cannot attend college or hold a job and it's heavily affecting my life yet my family believes it's just anxiety due to not having a diagnosis. Doctors have no idea what it might be. They suggested me/cfs a few months ago and after doing my research i realized that for once all of my symptoms matched but they eliminated the option after i was unresponsive to duloxetine and pregabalin. Now they're telling me to exercise more yet any sort of activity even just walking to the bathroom and back makes my symptoms worse. I cant even sit on a chair for more than 30 min without my dizziness and pain getting unbearable. They're insisting i'm just out of shape and that it's mental health related. While i've never been an athlete, i used to be quite active back when my symptoms were more manageable. And if anything my mental health is bad because of my physical health not the other way around.
Is it still possible that it might be me/cfs despite not responding to treatment? Is it worth trying to press further?
