Hi

I am  30 yr old female and I have been having the symptoms of CFS since I was 15. I have been on and off antidepressants, had tests for underactive thyroid and anaemia etc and get pain relief dished out when i have muscle pain. No one is listening to me. My partner says i am lazy as i can literally on bad days spend all day in bed and then get up for an hour and go back to bed and solidly sleep yet constantly feel too exhausted to do anything. I struggle with concentration and memory on a daily basis and back and joint pain. I feel like i a constantly moaning about something. I am putting on weight and my children are not getting the time with me they deserve. any help would be greatly recieved.

    Don't know where you live, but you need to see an ME/CFS specialist, like an infectious disease doctor. Also, I assume in all that time you've had bloodwork and other necessary tests done to rule out other illnesses.
