Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Me CFS)
I think, I have got chronic fatigue syndrome. I have been suffering from physical fatigue and slowed cognitive ability from the last 8 months. I have visited multiple doctors, did multiple tests, and later refered to Psychiatrist. I have seen multiple psychiatrist and taken multiple antidepressants but nothing is helping me. I am getting misdiagnosis with MD. I highly suspect that it is chronic fatigue syndrome. It's a rare deaseses where many doctors have no expertise in it. I am looking for doctors. Doctors who have expertise in the field, Please comment below.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is often diagnosed by excluding other likely causes of chronic fatigue like chronic anemia, vit d and or b12 deficiency.
Please share details of your symptoms, test results, then I can guide you further.

I need to see your CBC, vit D3, vit B12 levels before jumping to next step as well as iron profile
Other than that I need to ask some questions and some questions which might be a little personal
So consultation on call would be a better option.
