Some back ground. I'm new here. I have been having health problems for 21 years now. It started when I was 24. I was traveling in India and got really sick. A year later I was living in Seoul and got really sick again but this time worse. I was fatigued, my muscles ached, I had terrible headaches, and horrible IBS type symptoms. I wasn't able to absorb food well and my hair was coming out. But after leaving and going on a very relaxing vacation for an entire month ( tropical Island ), started to feel better and figured it was all behind me.
Well when I returned home to San Francisco I started to have relapses. Sometimes just once a year. It has been an on going issue now ever since. Symptoms can vary ( anything from migraines, pelvic pain, sore knees, weak legs, stiff joints ), but they always come with awful fatigue, aches pains, and stomach problems. I looked through the forums here but haven't seen stomach problems mentioned yet?
At any rate I got a diagnosis of chronic fatigue in 2007, but was told there is nothing I can really do except lifestyle modifications. Visiting a rheumatologist very soon though because I'm wondering if this could be fibro?
