Ilene,
If you don't mind my asking. The reason is I have been wallowing around for the past four years not making much progress. Suffered episode of major depression four years ago which lifted within the year. However, still have not returned to my initial level of functioning. Major symptoms are debilitating fatigue, hypersomnia, daytime sleepiness. Kept blaming it on depression and/or meds. But the bottom line is I don't feel sad....just so tired. My therapist agrees I don't have major depression but still have dysthmia. Have tried several different meds which don't seem to be doing anything. Starting to search for physical reasons for fatigue...thyroid is fine. My PCP seems to think it is probably CFS. Been to an allergist who told me I was allergic to everything and probably have CFS. Referred to rheaumatolgist.Bottom line, how do you tease out the fatigue,etc. of CFS from good ole' depression.
Thanks so much in advance!
