Feeling so ill!

I was wondering if anyone with CFS has a very bad, ill feeling.  For me this feeling goes beyond fatigue, it is like an extreme run down and sick feeling.  It almost feels like there is something in my bloodstream making me sick.  I am still not completely convinced I have CFS although I have had a lot of the symptoms.  I have been sick 8 1/2 months.  All of my EXTENSIVE medical tests came back fine, not even a virus.  Most of my doctors(ive seen many) told me they just don't know what is wrong with me.  I got one dx of CFS from an infectious disease doctor, but I had only been sick for 2 months at that time and I thought you had to be symptomatic of CFS for 6 months before being diagnosed? 

aquarias, I'm sorry that you sontinue to feel so sick. I do believe you are right about the 6 month thing. I do think it is really important to continue to get tests done once in a while especially when you feel really sick or if you develop any new symptoms. I do think your descript ion of feeling like you have the flu goes along with CFS. I think a lot of people with CFS feel very sick. hopestudios, welcome. It is frustrating to battle a chronic illness for so long and to know that there is no cure. CFS seems to have fallen off the radar in the medical community and you don't hear about a lot being done to find a cure or to help people live more "normal" lives. You have a great attitude about not giving up. My symptoms went into remission for several years and I felt almost "normal" but I still had to rest more than most people. I think all of us need to hold out for hope. If I didn't have hope that things would get better I'd probably give up.
