Feeling tired all the time? Could it be Chronic fatigue syndrome?

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a medical condition characterized by fever, generalized body ache, prolonged tiredness and depression, typically occurring after a viral infection.

I wake up kind of ok. But then take a few steps I go down hill. Brain tiredness starts. I need to lay down. Can’t do much.

I’m afraid I have this... I sleep 10 hours, then usually end up sleeping for several hours each day.

I am 14 and always feel so weak and tired even though I’m perfectly healthy. I just want to live my life without feeling unwell and weak.

I fall asleep just by closing my eyes and catch myself falling. EVERYDAY, ALLDAY.

I feel drained physically and mentally, muscles always aching, depressed and anxious. I work and try to do things and it just makes me want to die. I hate feeling not only tired all the time but, like the life is just being drained out of me, my muscles hurting and feeling like I could almost collapse.. just wanting to go home. I feel bad because I’m so drained I can’t play with my dog or do anything. It’s draining to even write this and the worst part is, is when family or people just say “ohh, you’re just lazy” “your generation doesn’t want to do anything”
I wish I didn’t feel this way and idk whats wrong with me. Sometimes I feel it would be better if I just wasn’t here. If this tiredness and pain lasts my whole life I don’t want to be here.. the tiredness isn’t just like “sleepiness” either. It’s like my body and brain is tired, my bones are tired and hurt, muscles, even when I talk it feel draining. Idk what it could be but, I hope I find out and can do something that helps.

"I do not know what is wrong with you syndrome". Most doctors have no clue that chronic fatigue is related to SIBO or other hidden intestinal infection. My husband just found the cause after 20 years performing test in private lab. It was SIBO. Often it is H pylori or candida overgrowth in large bowel.

I have chronic fatigue. I sleep 6-7 hours a day. I only go beyond that if I'm sick or exhausted from extrenous activities. But regardless of that, I'm still very tired throughout the day affecting my well being specially my job. Coffee does the job very little to no effect. I know its not normal cause my exhaustion is extreme. It is true that you might feel sleepy all the time but its different from sleeping beauty syndrome and severe narcolepsy.

I feel like I might have this I always feel super sleeepy so I lay down in bed all the time.I get bad headache and my brain just won’t work right.Which causes me to not be able to do anything.

I got sleep apnea. I'm 35 and I've been feeling sleepy or fatigued since I was like 18. I went to the doctor and ended up with a apap machine for sleep apnea. I felt a little better. But I still feel tired all the time. I've dealt with depression. But I been over that. It's not that. I'm just sleepy all the time. I thought it was how much I did at work. But I ecently lost my job because of all the covid thing. So been at home trying to get more work. But being at home I'm still miserable. The front of my head usually feels like when you been up real long and are about to pass out. I'm in average shape. I still do things. I just am always tired no matter what I do and it makes me want to just do nothing or care about anything. I just am tired all the time. Not like normal tired. Anyways, just looked it up on youtube cause I just feel like crap.
