AM, do you know if you had any type of vaccination around that time? The Hep B vaccine can cause symptoms that appear as CFS for all intents and purposes.
And to all the detractors out there - correlate the rise in this with the increased vaccination rates. Gulf War Syndrome is basically the same thing, and there are links to GWS and vaccinations.
Definitley no vaccinations at that time—I was still breastfeeding my son and wouldn’t have taken one.
