Hi,
i understand what you are going through. Am 31 and was diagnosed at 29 but was having symptoms as early as 23 years old. I would be so tired that all I wanted to do is get in the bed and lay down. I have been holding on to my job and fortunately I will be working 2 to 3 days from home soon. It is hard working when you feel so tired. I h... more
