Suffering from Extreme Fatigue

Hello!

I do not normally post personal health issues on the internet but I need help, I am suffering! I am 22 years old and for the past 10 months I have been suffering from extereme fatigue. This is suppose to be the best time of my life, I just graduated college and I have the whole world at my fingertips, yet this fatigue has taken over my life.

I started getting tired in mid June 2008 but I was in my senior year of college and was really busy with school and work so I tried to ignore it, hoping it would pass. With graduation in August 2008 my health was getting much worse and I could not wait to come back to New York to be with my family and get things sorted out. I would fall asleep in class, nap every chance I get, and call sick into work as much as possible. I finally went to a doctor, in Colorado, where I was going to school and they said I had mono. This is not ture because I had mono in the past and according to 8 out of 10 doctors you cant get mono again. I knew this doctor was wrong and I knew that this fatigue would not pass in 2-3 weeks.

I consider myself a very healthy person, 5'5' 125lbs, work out regularly, and try to eat healthy and nutritious foods. I would never have expected something like fatigue to take over my body.

Anyway, I stuck it out and finished school, just hoping that there was light at the end of the tunnel, or New York. When I arrived home my only goal was to get better. I was in and out of doctors all around the tri-state area and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. Some doctors diagnosed me with depression, lupus, mono, but with treatmeant and time none of thoes seemed logical.

My brother had lupus at a very young age and my mother had thyroid cancer when she was in her 30s. Doctors tested me for all sorts of possible diseases and dificiencies but they could not find anything. I started going to a CFS doctor (Cronic Fatigue Syndrome) and left immediately because I did not want to get caught up in that side of things. Anyone who knows what I am talking about can try to understand that CFS doctors are kind of crazy, and are in it for the money by persuading patients to buy all sorts of treatment packages. CFS scares me because it is unexpleained fatigue with no known cause and no known treatment and I try to avoid beliving or thinking that is what I have.

8 months later, I found a doctor who really understood me. She made me feel good about getting better and put me on medicine to treat my symptoms. I have been with her for several months and although her methods have somewhat helped I am suffering from this unexplianed fatigue.

I am 22 years old and should not be feeling this way. I use to have future dreams and goals, but that is all behind me because all I care about is getting better.

Someone, anyone...please help!
