[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 169074, member: 1991"] Chronic fatigue is a symptom of a number of possible conditions. It affects one in four people at some stage of their lives. It can be really debilitating and should be checked out. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome affects one in 2500 people and is a diagnosis you do not want. You would also have to feel like this for six months before a CFS diagnosis could be made. CFS diagnosis would also only be made if all other possible causes were excluded. There are many possible causes for this, all of them needing to be checked out. See the doctor. Do not let anyone be dismissive of how you feel. It could be just a virus which will go away soon. Some viruses can do this and take longer. This is a ghastly feeling, it can really disrupt your life, so seek help now. In the meantime, rest when you feel you absolutely must, try to not take on too much, and find gentler ways to do what absolutely has to be done. Do not feel guilty about needing to look after yourself. Keep us posted. Marg [/QUOTE]
