I mentioned this to my GP, but he said the two don't run together. I was just wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms. I won't go into PN symptoms, since I am in PN forum and everyone knows what they are, but CFS symptoms include:
fatigue
severe headache
trouble staying asleep
joint pain
sore throat
swollen glands
trouble with vision
memory and congnitive difficutlies

I had very bad PN 4 1/2 years ago. I was also very very tired and thought I may have CFS.
My thoughts now:
I had back surgery 8 years ago. No other health problems at the time.For months afterwards I was completely exhausted to the point of collapse.
Fastforward to when I came down with severe PN. My body was a train reck. I think that when our bodies are damaged, the healing process requires extra energy/life force which is needed to repair/restore the damage. I think this causes that feeling of fatigue. The greater the damage the greater the recovery period and the more resources/energy needed by the body to repair.
