Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Support Group

Hello, I am new to this site and am hoping to talk to some of you and hopefully figure out why I am so tired as well.

I have two children and I am a stay at home mom who has a horrible time getting up in the morning, it takes an hour to get going and I crash real fast after my coffee high. Here lately coffee doesn't even get me going. I go to bed early and still can't seem to get up in the morning. My 11 year old daughter tries to wake me up in the morning before she goes to school, I have always been the one to wake her up except for the past few months. I always feel so guilty once I finally do get up and I don't have time to fix her breakfast. I feel so tired and I think I may have andrenal fatigue or low cortisol. I finally went to the doctor and they did a blood test but I haven't heard from them yet. My eyes burn and I my energy level is getting worse and worse. I would love to talk to someone that has had the same problem. I have to lay down between cleaning to get the energy to do the next chore on my list. I lost my mom a couple of months ago and I am sure that has made matters worse but I was feeling pretty bad a month before she died. I would love to hear someone else's stories of fatigue and how they got through it.

I know your struggle very well. I have been having this fatigue for a very long time. Most notably for the last 8 months.I am in Dr. limbo. Noone knows whats wrong. I have been diagnosed with Wegeners Granulatomis.. but all of the docs can't agree on that diagnosis. I am exhausted all the time. I look fine from the outside. People assume because I am overweight, I am just lazy. I have recently been given Fibromyalgia meds. It seems to take away a lot of the pain. The fatigue though, is not being addressed. I slept for 12 hours last night. I have been sitting here checking my email for about an hour, yet I feel like I have just run a marathon and need to sleep. You are not alone.
