Onset of Fatigue

Same here. Many years before diagnosis.

I voted immediately, but, have been fatigued for about 17 yrs. My was told then that it was sleep apnea. I ever fell a sleep at the wheel and had an accident (I was ok). I went through my cancer treatment and became even worse. After a few years of tests and doctors, my neurologist said it was from something else and not the apnea. Now I have a cause. Thank you for enlighting me that I wasn't going crazy and thinking it was in my head. My husband says that I should go to bed earlier, but, whether I have 10 or 4 hrs of sleep it's the same.

I haven't slept more than 2 hrs straight in about 14 yrs. I have had CFS for about 6-7 yrs, with the last 2 yrs being the worst.

This meditation helps me and others
1. find a comfortable position
2. With your eyes closed, look to the top of your head
3. Breathe in and think "I am"
4. Breathe out and think "calm"
5. repeat by going to 3.

Last weekend "Ren" found that it worked well for her at an Anime convention.

I had fatigue long before I was diagnosed. I just didn't know why. Thinking back it might have been my first symptom.
