Anyone else have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

lobogirl · Nov 23rd, 2009, 17:23 PM

I have CFS and am wondering if anyone else has it and how it is affecting them or had affected them during their pregnancy. I know everyone is different but just wondering.

I don't THANK GOD but just thought I would post to say hi so you wouldn't feel like you were shouting into a black hole - I have had it in the past, got it in 1997 after having glandular fever (mono). I was really sick for 2 years but since then have only suffered relapses after getting the flu, which has happened 3 times I think. Anyway I wanted to wave hello and say that I know how it feels. I am still generally more tired than I used to be before CFS but nothing like the bad old days!

Hope you are coping ok. I have been more tired ever since conception but of course that is par for the course in early preg - so we'll see.

I don't have CFS but I have Fibromyalgia, I think it's similar?

My symptoms are a bit better so far, but I've been resting lots. It does flare up if I don't sleep well, so I expect it will soon get worse since bump is getting heavier and I have killer SPD.

I DO I DO!!!
Sorry, but it seriously feels like I am the only person in the world who knows what it is. I even have to exaplain it to my consultant!

Iv had CFS since i was 13 so, nearly 7 years. I was told after I was diagnosed that it was only mild and would clear itself up within a year (yeah right!)

PM me or message me if you wanna have a chat hun
