Your doctor seems to be pretty thorough, which is good of course. I hope you'll keep us posted if / when you hear something.

Im sorry to read you may have chronic fatigue ontop of your kidney condition to.
Ive suffered with chronic fatigue for ten years now. One doctor diagnosed me with it M.E but my other doctor doesnt believe in it or that i have it. so i was left in limbo.
I have bad digestion problems and i also suffer with migraines all of which leave you pretty exhausted in themselves and of course when you feel so crap that makes you tired.

i do see a counsellor and she did tell me that to try and be active at a pace is helpful for cfs not that ive noticed the benefits in particular but was one thing she said anyway.

I guess there is no certain test to prove one way or the other with cfs and it has to be concluded by the descriptions mostly.

Im amazed you keep down your job what with your kidney and feeling exhausted and headaches. Ive not been able to work for a long time because of my ailments. You are a strong willed person! :-)

Just from things I've heard you say on your journal, I'm not surprised that you also have CF. Do you take anything for your migraines? I feel like they've been extra bad recently. I take over the counter stuff when I'm at work, but I don't feel like they do all that much.

Lol, the only reason I keep my job is because I would be living on the street if I didn't ;) I've actually been thinking hard about cutting my hours back recently though, even though it would mean a big loss of money. But I kinda feel like that may be the way I need to go, for now at least. Thanks for the support!

No i dont take anything for my migraines/headaches really. On occassions i have to give in and take a pain killer like a co-codamol but i try not to as most tablets aggravate my stomach problems so get a bit scared to take any though of course sometimes pain is so bad i have to give in and risk it ( ... )

Ok, thanks for the info. I do tend to eat pretty healthy, but there's always room for improvement I suppose :) I'll have to ask my doctor next time I talk to her about things I could take for it. I'm thinking very seriously about cutting my hours... it might suck, but I think I'd feel better at least.
