Hi people! From what I’ve read so far, you all sound like a wonderful group of compassionate and giving people. I am so glad to have found where my “fellow-sufferers” can be reached. I am in my 50’s, have complained of chronic fatigue since approx. 1990 (age 35-52). Since Oct. 2006, I haven’t worked for reasons related to my condition. It is then that I noticed that my condition presented itself in cycles of 2-3 weeks each episode, as opposed to barely being able to function when I worked, and then coming home and being able to do absolutely nothing but lie in bed, do laundry about every 3 weeks. I recently had sudden hormonal changes since not working, don’t know if that could be related. Also, I am a nurse, and have been exposed to many microorganisms in my line of work, I also visited many patients in their homes and was exposed there as well. Since starting to see a psychiatrist, 5 years ago, I have had many med. changes. I would be happy to share my story in more detail, if anyone is curious to know which meds I took and their affects or causes of hormone imbalance, etc.
Hopefully, by sharing we may discover a commonality amongst us all, that can lead to a better understanding of the cause. I applaud all who have worked so hard to create this site, and those who continue to pour their hearts out to help others as well as themselves.
Thank you,
Donna
