Question Wondering about Chronic Fatigue?

Hello All-

I have been set in the life of "MS Limboland" with most of the symptoms of having an MS episode in August that landed me in the hospital. Now, after months of appts and test with my neuro, she is suggesting Chronic Fatigue or Fibro. The question that I have is that I don't have ANY pain. I have occasional aches, calf aches, neck/shoulder aches, but no pain. I have severe fatigue, muscle weakness, cog fog, and many more symptoms.

What is your opinion, do I accept this or go on looking for a cause. I have an EMG and CSV (Nerve Conduction Test) on Jan 28, so I will know more then.

Thanks in advance to all who send their knowledge my way

Been there in that limboland in the beginning of my issues.

Make sure they test your female hormones as well. Sometimes estrogen deficiency can cause similar problems.

Also have all your endocrine systems tested, thryoid, parathryoid. Get calcium, iron and B12 checked.

Good luck

Hi happy2bmom, have a look at my daughter's website, where she delves deeply into CFS, ME and so on. There is a LOT of misinformation about and she has spent countless hours researching this topic to try to get it sorted.
