You didn't have it, by any current definition of the disease (Canadian/Fukuda criteria). "Chronic fatigue syndrome" is an unfortunate misnomer - fatigue is one symptom but far from the only one.

I'm not sure how you can determine that from the parent comment. >"Chronic fatigue syndrome" is an unfortunate misnomer - fatigue is one symptom but far from the only one. The parent comment never said he/she only had fatigue. In fact the mention of "symptoms" would kind of imply that fatigue wasn't his/her only symptom, wouldn't it?
- jomamaxx 10y agoI had all the symptoms. Point blank. Ergo 'I had it' - because it's a condition defined by it's symptoms. The kind of 'fatigue' I had was very odd: it was not 'sleepy tired' and it was not 'energy tired'. I wasn't in need of a nap, and if I went to the gym, I kept my regular pace no problem. It was a weird tiredness that hit several times a day, and made me not want to do much. Granted, it was more mild than others. Granted, I may not have 'had' whatever causes it in others. Also - I did take a lot of 'pro-biotics' as well, basically it supposedly restores the bacteria in your gut. But it's not particularly scientific. I can tell you it was an odd feeling, unlike any other.
