Hello and sorry for the long story. I am trying to see if I have CFS. Two months ago, on a normal Sunday morning, I woke up and got out of bed. A short time later, I got an enormous feeling weirdness in my head. I cant describe it very well. It felt like I was going to lose consciousness. I didnt but it was VERY scary. I went to the hospital and was feeling ...

Hello,

On Sept 26, 2001, I went to bed feeling fine. The next morning I woke up feeling like I hadn't slept. I went to be early that day and tried to get 12+ hours of sleep. Same thing happened again and again. Days turned into weeks and weeks into months. For the next 9.5 years I suffered terribly.

I went to all kinds of doctors and specialists. I had every test done that the ...

Hello everyone I am new to the board and even though I think I have cfs I am luckier than some, My symptoms seem to be somewhat mild most of the time but when I have an attack it gets rough. 7 years ago my 13 yr old son had Mono, a week later I had the same symptoms and it lasted almost a month then I felt fine, for the 1st year or so ...

Hi Everyone,
I've just started a new blog about my journey through to recovery from M.E. (it hasn't happened yet, but I just KNOW that something out there has to work). I feel that there is hardly any relevant information out there all in one place for people to take in, its all spread across a million websites, and lets face it we're not the most energetic bunch. In my blog my aim will be ...

Hello everyone,

I have CFS but I'm on my way to recovery. I'm almost back to normal. I run 5 days a week for 40min + stretching. I feel great, I can go out, see friends etc...
However, there is something weird. Whenever I'm a little more tired than usual, I'll get a pulsating vein under my right eye AFTER showering!
It's very weird. I shower with hot water, wash my hair and body with ...

Hi people.

Haven't posted much on this as i've been pretty sick lately. The doctor recently told me I have vasculitis which is inflammation of the blood vessels. At the moment the condition is being monitored but I think if it doesn't go away It will involve taking oral steroids and really strong medication. It's really scary i'm not gonan lie. Does anyone know much about vasculitis or have had it? I read it can ...

I have had CFS for 28 years. I recently had a test for chlamydia pneumoniae and it came back positive. Have any of you had a positive test for this and what did you do about it? It seems to be common in people with CFS.

As i said in previous post i have had M.E for 15 years and am no better, I emigrated in 2009 and found a new GP who was really nice did some investigations looked at my records and found out i had had Graves disease for 10 years, i am now having treatment which is not working very well and probably will need my thyroid removed. I saw him this morning because i am still ...

Hi,
I am a twelve year old who has been suffering with M.E. for nearly 2 years now. I found this forum when searching the internet to pass the time - I am currently off school with a pounding headache, bad fatigue and a bad throat infection, thought to be tonsillitis. I had nine bouts of tonsillitis in the course of the first year of my illness- thought to be why I contracted CFS. What ...

Hi!

I have just discovered I have low ferritin during my worst episode of CFS. Do any of you know what your ferritin levels are? Some believe low ferritin can cause fatigue even when there is no anemia. I am eagerly waiting to hear from you.

Thanks!
