These kind of sympt.: frequently cluster together.There is no one specialist who can help you with all your problems.This requires a multidisciplinary approach .Once you find a scientifically trained empathetic provider,they will know a good network for you.U might try going to a support group for chronic fatigue or chronic pain.Ask around for a consensus opinion,make an appointment,and trust your gut.

Rheumatologist: Finding a knowledgeable doctor for CFS isn't an easy task, because not many doctors are specialize in CFS. Rheumatology is a good starting point. Some people think that the Epstein-Barr virus is related to chronic fatigue syndrome, but studies have found no evidence for this statement. The monospot test and the EBV antibody test are not used for CFS.

Chronic Fatigue: I would recommend that you see an alternative doctor who specializes in anti-aging and naturopathic medicine. They would need to look at your nutrition, your blood tests, look to see if you have inflammation, nutritional deficiencies. Someone who belongs to the Academy of Anti-aging should be able to help you.
