    • Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I have not been dignosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but have discussed it numerous times with my doctor, but can never get straight answers. I think I have CFS and it's wreaking my life. Over the years I have come to discover evidence shows people that have had mono and pneumonia can be prone to it. Ever since I've had mono, then the following year the flu, then a year later pneumonia, I've never been the same.
