I would like to ask regarding the symptoms, remedies and diagnosis for chronic fatigue syndrome and narcolepsy, including related illnesses or infections.

It was not directly linked to any illness as a post viral infection, however it was not unknown for me to have tonselitis often in my final years of ...

All these symptoms i've been having lately with my sore eyes, increased headaches, not being to look at light, feeling really weak. This makes me so worried I keep thinking in my mind if I have a tumor at the back of my eyes or something, or could it be menigitis?

Hello,

Currently being investigated for CFS after 4+ years of severe and dramatic symptoms. I am wondering how others cope with the demands of raising children, with minimal to no energy.
