    • About Me

      Mom of 9, tired of people assuming my excessive daily fatigue is because I have a big family. Have had a big family for a LONG time and only started having daily problems 2 years ago. Glad I am close to a diagnosis finally.

    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      Contracted a "mono-like" virus in 1987 in San Diego, Ca. Had a TERRIBLE sore throat (couldn't drink or eat) and diabling fatigue. Once recovered docs told me that I would carry the virus for life. Every few years I would have an "episode" -always started with a sore throat. If I went to bed and rested I could stave off a real episode. 2 yrs ago I began having DAILY fatigue. We are close to a CFS diagnosis, and with my own research I feel confident that is the problem.
