There was an interesting interview with an ex-professional footballer, 
Andy Hunt, who had to quit his sporting career when he became ill with 
CFS. The interview can be heard online here, about 10 minutes into the 
programme:

The show will be online till next Saturday.

The odd thing is, that it isn't really clear if he is totally recovered 
as he says at one point that it doesn't affect his current job, running 
a hotel. The interview is also very much focused on what it's like to 
have been a top footballer rather than his health. Still well worth a 
listen.
