I have been sick for months now. I was dx with CFS earlier in the year. Then another doctor said no it isn't CFS. Then I got sent to another doctor who said it IS CFS.
My symptoms included:
extreme fatigue - as in there were days when I woke up at 7 am, got the kids out the door by 7:25am, then went back to sleep on the couch and slept until 2:20pm when it was time to get the kids. Then I would just kind of lay/nap on the couch until I HAD to get up and make dinner, etc.
Random fevers for what would seem like no reason. Just out of the blue my fever would shoot up to 101 or higher.
A lot of pain. It would feel like I was getting a spinal tap in all of my joints at once. I would sit and just cry it would hurt so bad. I also would get really bad headaches.
Then I started having some neurological problems. I had trouble walking. If you watched me walk down the hall I looked like a pinball just bouncing off one wall and into the other one all the way.
It also affected me emotionally. I became very depressed and that just seemed to make all the symptoms worse.
