A note about expectations: Patients need to have realistic expectations. The longer and more severe the CFS/FMS, the longer it will take to make any sort of recovery. If you have been unwell for years please don't expect to feel better in two months. Therapy for CFS involves detective work and much careful analysis of history, examination findings, tests and trials. We carefulness and commitment good and even excellent outcomes are quite possible.
