Early on in my ES (7 years ago), I found that taking antibiotics
eliminated my ES, but these were causing other problems and
certainly were not something that I wanted to be taking
forever. And they were only a temporary solution, as soon
as I stopped taking them, my ES came back.

The fact that antibiotics helped at all is rather interesting
though, and leads me to wonder what the mechanism of action was.
I can only think of two possibilities:

* my ES is caused by some sort of chronic infection.
* my ES is caused by excessive mobilization of toxins,
and the antibiotics interferred with this.

But I agree that going to a psychologist is probably useless.
This is a physical condition, not a mental one.
