Have you ever heard of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Yes, it is interesting that the diagnosis is based on symptoms for the most part.

There has been very little research until recently and it was often misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia. Many doctors think its linked to the Epstein Barre virus which causes Mono. Do you know anyone with Mono or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

I had mono as a child, but if I understand correctly the cause of CFS is not completely understood.

It is still being researched. I also had mono and it has led to me having CFS. It is now know as Myalgic Encephalomyalitis or ME. Have you heard of the #MillionsMissing movement?

I have not heard of that. I'm assuming it relates to people missing life due to no cure.

Yes. It was all over the news a few months ago and created an online movement of people telling their stories of being sick with CFS and other invisible illnesses
