    it sure sounds like CFS. it took my doctors a year and a half to figure it out. I have been dealing with it for about 4 years now. some days are better than others but I always have than muscle pain and weakness everyday. I also have been diagnosed with sjogrens syndrome. started out as just dry eyes and dry mouth and swollen lymph nodes. they put me on cymbalta which helps with energy.

    Sleeping for 12 hours will make you tired this is something lot of people do not understand that more sleep doesn't equal better for you also it's when you are sleeping so the 8 or 12 hours still feeling unrefreshed can be because your pattern is out very common also if you are having nightmares/stressed that means you are not getting good sleep this all adds up to impact the body/mind.

    Are you an active person and what type of diet/times do you eat?

    Go see your GP get them to do a full blood work up to rule out various things.
