Is it likely myalgia could/would be develop into CFS? I do suffer from fatigue.. I would say it was moderate to extreme, depending on how much I've done, intestinal cramping and am emotional liability.. and do occasionally interchange and fail to finish sentences when typing... (and talking) without noticing.

I'm seeing a psychologist at the moment, I saw her... yesterday.. or the day before (the days are such a blur), I did ask about this and she said it wasn't related to my PCS at all.. and that I should visit my doctor if I'm worried about it. I'm rather confused about what to do! Maybe I should attempt to get referred?
All good questions, and I'm afraid no-one has all the answers, not even me. I don't know that you have CFS, but you do mention several signature symptoms. There is a standard diagnostic protocol for CFS; I think it is fairly useless. I would take anyone's opinion with a grain of salt, even a professional. There is just too much unknown about CFS and brain injuries. I come from a different school than the doctors. 36 years of dealing with it.

I will add your name to the prayer list tonight!
