I Think I have CFS

I have been dealing with fatigue for the last year and it is continuing to get worse. I just turned 30 this past August and things have really went down hill for me. I am currently dealing with Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, irregular bowel movements, irregular menstral cycles, irritability, sleepless nights, I am always tired and can sleep most of the day away, weight gain, achy mucles and joints,
I do not have insurance right now. I can't get the state medical card because I'm married and live with my family which I thought was a good thing but the state seems to think it isn't so they won't help me. I'm going nuts and feel like I'm getting worse every day. I did finally break down and go to my GYN for a check up & some testing to see if I was in premature menopause or if it might be my thyroid but all the tests came out normal. I am by no means feeling normal & I can't afford to go to the DR. again right now. Can Someone PLEASE HELP ME?!?!?!? I know I need to be more active and I am trying to be. I went for a walk this morning and I felf good when I got back but within 20 minutes I was back to feeling severely tired. I've been up since 7:00 am & I'm trying not to lay down. It's 11:42 am now & I could lay down now and sleep until my kids get home from school at 3:00 pm get them off the bus and lay back down until my husband gets off work at 4:30 pm make dinner and eat then sleep until bedtime then go to bed and sleep all night. Like I said I am trying not to lay back down any time soon but I know I will eventually have to take a nap today or my poor family will be dealing with a very irritable me. Can Someone PLEASE HELP ME? I'm desperate and want my life back! Hugs, Cassie Posted on 09/23/09, 11:09 am |

If you do have CFS don't! Don’t! Over do the exercise. Rest when you need to and don't push yourself. I did that and it made me worse. The doctors can only tell you what you do or don't have except for CFS it is a disease of exclusion. There are so many things that mimic CFS symptoms it is hard to diagnose. Rest is your friend and I mean lying down and not thinking of anything but resting your energy-starved body. I hope you can see a doctor that understands CFS and eliminate any other disease. Hang in there we understand. You have come to the right place for information.
