You stated above that you were diagnosed with mononucleosis in 1999. Have you come across the recent news about a potential (I'd say near certain!) linkage between CFS and mono? See link below: http://www.blnz.com/news/2009/07/15/Mono_linked_chronic_fatigue_syndrome_4189.html Also, there's been a lot of interesting feedback on the issue at Adrienne Dellwo's site (see link below): http://chronicfatigue.about.com/b/2009/07/07/mono-juvenile-chronic-fatigue-syndrome.htm Hi Christina,

Great site — keep up the good work.

I liked that you put "just" depressed, like it doesn't count. My depression symptoms are not something I usually discuss with anyone and they can be really debilitating. I appreciate that you have surely dealt with the same type of "get over it" reaction to your CFS. I hope that you find what works best for you in dealing with your symptoms.
