I've been diagnosed with chronic fatigue (finally), but it's currently really effecting my college work more than ever; somedays I just can't get out of bed...to make it worse I just get labelled lazy and a 'skiver' when I don't goto lessons. I meditate and take Q10, but it doesn't make a great deal of difference. I'm really struggling now...help!

Sorry to here that, it must be awfull to have to live with,

Heres an info page that might help you find some stuff out,

Greetings, padawan.

My brother's ex had it in the early 90's. Some days she could hardly walk. Eventually she found some alternative therapy which seemed to help. I think it was some kind of herbal tea - I'll email my brother and ask.

Meanwhile here are a few links I found from people who have CF and how they deal with it.

If you are tired all the time, you are like me. I don't know much about chronic fatigue symptom, but I would encourage you to look into other medical issues as well. There are other things that can sap your energy. I am 35 and within the last 2 years I have noticed I feel dog tired when I am not working. I have considered and tried low iron, vitamin B, and thought about having preliminary heart problems - as I have been smoking for 6 years and have borderlline high blood pressure. Lack of oxygen from smoking or something like diabetes can give you serious fatigue. I encourage you to consider these things. I wish you luck and sympathize with you. See ya around.
