Hello, I am so sorry you are going through this. How long have you been sick? Have you had any testing done? Your symptoms could be any number of things & the only way to figure it out is to have some testing done, this way your doctor will be able to rule out illnesses such as autoimmune diseases. Chronic fatigue is a symptom of many different illnesses but CFS is an illness in itself only dx'd by excluding everything else. I know it is hard not having insurance at this time but maybe start with some blood tests, who knows something may show up right away. Have your doctor check your iron, Vit D, B12, etc. Do you take anything right now for your symptoms, medications or suppliments? You are in the diagnostic stage & this could take a while. I hope you are able to continue to work while trying to find out what is going on. Let us know how you are doing. Hugs, Denise
