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.

peter thank you !

cfs and me are not the same... i have me

cheers

Sorry to hear that, but at least with a diagnosis you will be able to learn more about your illness and possible treatments.
My daughter has done a huge amount of research, and keeps up to date with all developments.
She has had some success with her enormous trials of medications and supplements over the years.
Ignore advice from well meaning friends/ family, and try only those treatments that have a solid basis in results.

Fibro = Fatigue is definitely me! Besides the ache and pain from the fibro, I find the fatigue the most debilitating. The chronic myofascia pain is very debilitating as well. You can touch me anywhere on my body and it hurts.

I hope you find your answers!
