Do I have CFS?

Lately I've been getting these extreme fatigues. For about a week I will feel tired, then the very next week I feel great, heaps of energy and motivation, then the very next week I feel like trash and I'm very exhausted again.

Things i should note:

I had mononucleosis about 8 months ago and the symptoms lasted about 4 months.

The fatigue most of the time comes after a night of drinking.

At the moment I'm stuck in a cycle; Feel good, workout, eat well and do heaps of work, at the end of the week have a a couple drinks with some friends. Then the next week I feel bad, don't workout and don't work much all week, then next week I feel good again.

Also I've been saying it changes week by week but in reality it fluctuates time e.g, sometimes i'm tired for 2 and good for 1

    Hey Tross,

    I have been dealing with similar symptoms for at least 3 years now(it has been a nightmare). It started with a long undiagnosed tonsilitis. Have you had a useful diagnosis?

    I have an appointment in the next weeks to see if antidepressants could help as it seems my body is functioning just as it should.

    Thanks.
