724 Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia (archive)

The full podcast of this program will be available on Monday, January 25.

Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome are both elusive and debilitating conditions. They are difficult to diagnose and even trickier to treat. Many physicians chalk them up to psychosomatic problems and don’t have much to offer patients.

The CDC counts these as real disorders: fibromyalgia affects up to 5 million Americans, and chronic fatigue syndrome affects between 1 and 4 million at any given time. Although these problems seem mysterious, they are treatable.

Guest: Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., is Medical Director of the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers nationally. His Web site is www.vitality101.com. He is also the co-creator of the iPhone application, Natural Cures.

First broadcast 5/24/2009
