Thanks for the response. I'd read a little about CFIDS in the past, and the symptoms match my experience well, but the idea was met by a lot of resistance by my parents. I can usually turn to them for support, but I cannot regarding this. They are very stubborn in their convictions that chronic fatigue syndrom is a myth, or that CFIDS is merely a symptom of depression, or that I'm a hypochondriac. That's what I've been listening to for the last 2 1/2 years... but I really to start hearing some other points of view. Thanks for sharing yours. I'll follow up on this message after I visit the student health center next week.
> I think you're smart to get another blood test. A blood test (CBC) should be your first step, before deciding to go on medication. It sounds almost as if you are suffering from chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome-- which, ironically, is treated with SSRIS. Can you pinpoint a certain "high stress" event that lead to you feeling this way?
