You are just depressed, I shall make you a pointmet with a "shrink"! Not even willing to hear me out, giving me 5 min or less of his time, if I had CFS, I'd be lieing down in bed without able to come and see him! I tried to tell him that that's me most of the time and that without the help of my loving family I wouldn't be able to function at all and I need help, but not a shrink, the only thing I'm depredded about is being tired and not being able to function normal like I used to.

I have no money to go private and if he won't refear me to see a professional there is no help for me and no point in going to doctors anymore, I just come back home feeling it was totally useless waist of time to get myself ready just to be told it's all in your head :(

For a long time I've been extreamly tired and unable to function normal, I can stay in for weeks, I force myself to cook for the children daily and if I don't have to go anywhere I won't change my clothes as I have no energy for that. I was told by my doctor to go and do exercise, I did and it just made me more tired/exhausted and couldn't even do the little I was able to without exercise.

Here is the rest of the symptoms:
- Constant tiredness what ever I do or where ever I am.
- Pins and needels and cramps in my leggs
- Above avarge body temperature 37.3 or above most of the time..
- Headaches/ migrane type
- Feeling Sick / in stomack, short of wanting to vomit (although, never happend yet)
- Brain Fog / Mostly can't think straight
- Forgetfulness, memory loss/ all you need to do ask my family about that, it's a fact!!
- Sleep disturbance/ very hard to get to sleep, and when I wake up it's like I never slept

And not only that, but I didn't ask for and don't even want a medication, only something that can help me give some energy and sleep when I need it...

My own suggestion: b12 injection for energy and for sleep, not a sleeping tablet but something that can just help me go sleep. What you guys think???

No you are not crazy. It sounds like you hace CFS. You need to find a doctor that believes that CFS exists and that can treat it. Here is a website that you can use to search for a doctor near you. Alot of CFS issues are due to thyroid problems and these doctors treat these and other CFS problems.

I have the same problems!! Just wanted to let u know one thing that was able to help me sleep at night was using medicine for ADD (ritalin).  It really didnt help in any other way but my sleep.  I used to lay in bed for hours not sleeping but ritalin made me fall asleep and stay asleep...which helps a little with fatigue. I know it sounds a littlw weird since its a stimulant...but if u take it in the a.m. it kinda works out ur brain making u sleep at night. I've tried just about everything for this fatigue.... i'm even trying accupuncture right now (not really helping). I'm kinda at a loss also...just wanted to let u know about the ritalin :) ZzZz
