Hi Megan, if you have severe fatique then it is unlikely that you have ME, as fatique is not a symptom, contrary to popular belief.
My adult daughter has severe ME has has spent a great deal of time and effort to research this illness, its diagnosis and treatments, as well as dispelling the myths.
I invite you to have a look at her much acclaimed website, where you can get the lowdown on ME.
Search for A Hummingbirds Guide. Hope it helps you.
Getting a correct diagnosis is vital, but you need to be well prepared to do battle with the medical profession.
