I've been suffering from CFS since 2000 though I was not officially diagnosed until 1/2006 at which time I was diagnosed with both CFS and Fibromyalgia.

Prior to that my doctor assumed that my complaints were related to anxiety and stress. He treated me for my sleep issues though he thought that I was crazy. I even saw his in house counselor to try and reslove my issues. The couselor and I came up with the fact that I had no life issues that would cause the complaints that I was having. After seeing him and 27 other doctors I came to the conclusion that I was going to have to do my own research to help myself.

I continue to read and research my illnesses to try to come up with a solution. I have found comfort in helping others while in turn helping myself.

I am married and have a 20 year old daughter both of which are very supportive of my conditions. My husband and I own a auto dealership in which I do all of the bookkeeping for. I spend most of days on the computer away from the dealership due to my illnesses. Fortunately I am able to do my work from home.

If anyone needs advice or just to vent I will be here. Just post, or send me a personal message and I will respond as soon as I can.
