Chronic Fatigue syndrome

Some early tests indicate it probably is caused by a retrovirus.

Me too add me into the I could sleep all day department (but kind of sort of I've always been like that but just never could cause there was my mom waking me up or as an adult stuff to do!).  Now I just sleep all I want on the weekend and if anyone doesn't like it...........too bad!

Nice to see you BOTH in here!

Hey Eric!  Great seeing you on here!  What an interesting article.  I never felt like I was fatigued before diagnosis but I did sleep more than most kids my age.  However, during treatment, I was always really tired.  Even now, more than a year after treatment, I still need more sleep!
