Hi. My father suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome. Recently he started to snore like very loud and he went to doctor and the doctor said that he is suspecting on sleep apnea. Is sleep apnea has something to do with the CFS or can it worse my fathers health condition ? Dose any of you people have sleep apnea and chronic fatiuge in the same time ?
Thanks!

Chronic Fatigue-Sleep Apnea
Yes and yes.I have had Sleep Apnea for years and use a C-pap machine at night to keep my throat open. I was very fatigued before the Sleep Apnea was diagnosed and began using the C-pap machine. When using the machine, I get enough sleep up to 10 hrs per night to feel good. Of course 10 hrs is hard to do. If I get tired during the day and feel sleepy, I take a nap using the machine. With the machine, I still get tired and have pain in legs,feet,knees but with the machine & 10 hr sleep I find these problems are much reduced.
