Thank you so MUCH for posting this, it is an excellent tool that I'm going to show as many people as I can---maybe then they will get the point & with any kind of luck understand what its like to LIVE with chronic pain. I know a lot of doctors that need to read this also. 
Thanks again.

Just to keep the record straight about this letter.
It was written by Bek Oberin in the early days of the Internet. She was a keen blogger and had (may still have) her own web site.
Here's a link that might satisfy your curiosity.

The article was originally titled,"An Open Letter To Those Without CFS."
It seems to have been hijacked a lot since then, so you will see slightly different versions around.
CFS was an early name for what is now more accurately known as M.E.
My daughter has had it severely for 16 years or so, and in the early days was in contact with Bek.
Incidentally, Bek has changed her name to Ricky Buchanan.
