Is it chronic fatigue syndrome?
ok now for a few months everysingle day about 2 hours after i woke up i would get extremely tired like extremely, but just a few weeks ago my doctor gave me wellbutrin because of my server anxiety and depression, he thinks thats what is causing the fatigue, i asked him about the cfs anywho the meicine worked a little bit but within a week i was back the same as before, then one day i deicded to suck it up and exercise and fight it, and it actually worked, within one day i could actually make it through the day without wanting to die, i even played a little soccer with my friends and ran around the block a few times, i also have really good days wehre i can skateboard, this has been working for about a week now but today i woke up and i was kind back to the same as i was before, but i also felt like i didnt really sleep right, i woke up like 10 times and never felt like i was in a deep sleep, cause my problem from the beginning be that i have a sleep problem and that the reason why im so tired, because from what i hear if you have cfs you dont just have a god week where you can run around and play soccer. but im not sure i just dont want to have it, im hopeing this is all just a sleep problem

Have i got chronic fatigue syndrome ?
Hi Before I go to the Dr s about this issue I would like to know if anyone could help me diagnose it on the web. Ok. So for about 6 years I have not been able to function properly without a minimum of 12 hours sleep age 12 18 years old . The problem started when I first began high school, I would go to sleep around 11 12 pm and wake up at 7.30 am. When I woke I felt dreadful, I would be fatigued, dazed and lafargic and would only want to sleep. I would even sleep till the last minute in the mornings before school to the point where I would only have enough time to brush my teeth and get changed. Not even enough time to drink a glass of water or breakfast. So to cut a long story short this continued for the whole of high school. And on weekends I would have to sleep about 12 14 hours to catch up on a week s worth of missed sleep. At school people would ask me if I had black eyes due to my tired appearance they would also ask me if I was ok. The fatigue also affected my mental state of mind and affected other physical elements like my posture and physique some people saying I was a ghost skeleton mainly down to not eating breakfast and being an ectomorph as it is tiredness . So after all that ended I then began college I go to college Mondays Tuesday and Wednesdays and have a four day weekend. Sounds great doesn t it? Not if you may be suffering from C.f.s, I sleep for around 12 hours a day on my weekend and then when college strikes holy Christ It hurts. It s so bad I can barely manage a 3 day college week. I have to sleep after college and that just destroys any sleeping pattern I have. I now get comments from people asking me if I have some sort of illness My parents have commented saying my eye sockets are receding into my skull And I have dark circles which are black may I add under my eyes. My cheek bones have slightly receded inwards giving me a very skeletal and old looking face for an 18 year old. If anyone with any medical scientific knowledge could help it would be much appreciated It has got so bad these days I have nearly broken into tears when getting up for college I am so tired. Even when I sleep for 12 hours I feel very lafargic and dazed. My health I attend the gym 4 days a week with maximal exertion when I am there.I don t smoke or take any kind of narcotics. I drink alcohol once every two months generally for special occasions. I am 6 2 in height and am just right for my weight category as well.Mentally I don t suffer from stress anxiety depression which may affect sleepI am 18 years of age and have been suffering from what I believe is C.F.S for around 6 7 years.Additional notes On college nights I generally have around 5 7 hours sleep and on weekends I have 12 hours sleep.If you are wondering why I don t just go to bed early ? That is because I cannot. Every night at around 10 11 pm I am always wide awake I get an energy surge if I try and sleep I cannot I have lied in bed for 5 hours in the past without being able to sleep and I cannot. I don t drink any stimulants at night and I don t eat anything at night either.As you can tell I would be very thankful if someone of an outside perspective could cast their opinion over my condition. It is becoming very wearing on my life, plus my sleeping demands ruin whole days and dictate a lot of what I can and cannot do. I end up living most of my life in the dark at the minute as it is winter as I only get to see about 2 3 hours of daylight due to waking up around 2 3 pm on days off. Thank you

What is the best treatment(s) for severe chronic fatigue syndrome?
What is the "real" difference between chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia?
I have been fighting chronic pain, sore throat, brain fog, concentration issues, and fatigue for years. I basically feel like I have the flu everyday of my life. After years of tests and being dismissed by my primary care physician I finally see a rheumatologist. She thinks my condition is fibromyalgia, which is some progress. My gut feeling is that I have chronic fatigue syndrome. When I asked her what the difference is she said they are the same. They are in the same class of illnesses. As I do my research, I notice that doesn't appear to be the case. Do I just let it go or push for a proper diagnosis? I must say this is a huge victory to finally have someone in the medical community acknowledge my physical pain and other symptoms. It's just nice to know I wasn't imagining how terrible I was feeling and that stress makes me feel so much worse.
Anyone got chronic fatigue syndrome or knows someone who has it? Any advise? Does it get better?!?
I woke up about 7 weeks ago unable to walk very well and so exhausted after 8 hours sleep, I didn't go to school so my mum took me to the doctors to find out what was wrong. I had a blood test 2 days later and it came back fine, they was testing for a few things. I haven't been to school for 7 weeks now and I'm missin out on lots of work and I've just had to chose my gcse's They doctors have done more blood tests which have come out normal, and think I have chronic fatigue but they can't say it's that untill I've been like this for 3 months. They referred me to hospital for some doctor or something to do more tests My life has completly stopped, I did 12 hours of gymnastics a week since I was 7, and now all I do is sleep and cry Last night I broke down into tears, I can't do anything and try can't cure it My mum has told me to stay positive, I suffer from depression which hasn't helped but I see a councillor every Tuesday so that helps to let all my feelings out and have a talk about life and how to make te most of it It's so hard because I can't walk and I so want to go back to school ad see all my friends Does anyone have chronic fatigue or know someone who has it? Or just any advise? I'm not looking for sympathy, just advise Thanks

Recommend work for someone with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
I MIGHT have chronic fatigue syndrome or something quite similar. I have lost two jobs in the past year because of the symptoms. Constantly looking exhausted doesn't make me the most attractive candidate during interviews, either. I have used all my savings on medical bills, have been unemployed for 18 months, and do not have health insurance. I need to go back to the doctor but cannot pay for any more visits, testing, or get health insurance without income. Even only $500 would make a huge difference right now. I have a liberal arts degree and have skills and experience in office work and customer service. My prevailing problem is that I am constantly tired, but since I also sometimes have cloudy vision, driving isn't always possible. I have figured out ways to deal with my memory problems for the volunteer work I do and know how to apply them to other office work. I can do physical work at a slow and steady pace, but I don't yet know for how many hours at a time. Intellectually I don't want to do boring or repetitive work, but I realize that is no longer an option. I am currently under consideration for a position shelving books 3 4 hour shifts and am considering applying for a telecommuting administrative position with very flexible hours. I have also considered starting a business doing contract work doing genealogy research. What type s of work would you suggest for someone in my current situation? If I am diagnosed with CFS, would you recommend something different long term? I'm only 26.
