I had horrible fatigue a couple years ago; I wonder if it's related to CFS at all. It was utterly bizarre: I had just come off some antibiotics, when I suddenly had no energy to do anything at all. All I could do was lay in bed. I also got walking pneumonia about a month after the symptoms began, and my roommate had the exact same symptoms. A test for mono came back negative.

The worst part was that the recovery was slow and gradual. After 6 months, I felt like I could operate as a human being again, and only just this year did I feel like I'm back to normal.

I'm chalking it up to it being the first time I was on antibiotics for an extended period of time, plus a run-in with some unfortunate mysterious disease. I honestly have no idea, though.
