Hi, I'm new here

Hi snoog and welcome. I'm really sorry to hear that you have CFS - it can be really hard to deal with. I was about your age when I was diagnosed with CFS after feeling like I never recovered from a bad case of mono I had when I was 18. Fortunately my CFS went into remission for quite a few years once I was in my late twenties and through most of my 30's. Every once in a while I would crash, but if I listened to my body I did pretty well. Then in my late 30's I got sick again and ended up having lupus on top of the cfs. I wish the CFS forum was a little more active. We don't have a lot of people posting right now in this forum so you might not get a lot of responses. Let me know if you have any questions and also know you can come here and vent if you are going through a rough time.
