You have my deepest sympathy. I also live with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). My doctor also did not believe in my condition -- whatever that is supposed to mean, right? I have been able to see a naturopath whose advice has made a world of difference for me.

Rest is essential, as much as you may hate it. Rest as much as you can. Sleep as much as you can. Lay down, eyes closed, in a quiet place. Take small breaks through the day even if you think you don't need them.

It will help your body manage your tiny reserves of energy.

I take omega 3 oil, vitamin B12, and vitamin D3, these are the supplements that over the last decade have done me noticeable good.

Diet changes can help. I needed to go low carb, it helped a lot. Didn't fix me but helps most symptoms. It might not be low carb for you, but there may be foods contributing to your symptoms. 

There are other things that may help, these are a few. You are not alone. There are so many of us out there. Look for online support groups, there are many for us.

I believe you when you say you are very sick. I wish you well.
