“The people in whom CFS often takes a hold are those driven, workaholic, goal driven, perfectionist, 'never say die' characters. This is because these people ignore the normal cues that make us stop striving - they continue despite symptoms of fatigue and pain in order to achieve. The achievement is at the expense of their health. Furthermore, these personalities are more likely to turn to addictions to mask symptoms in order that they can keep going.” — Sarah Myhill
