I went to the doctor complaining of awful fatigue. They refused to do any tests and diagnosed me with depression. When antidepressants made no difference, they diagnosed me with ME and sent me on my way with no help. I suffered like this for three and a half years and my life fell apart. It actually turned out to be thyroid cancer. So whenever someone gets diagnosed with ME now i always wonder if they actually have an underlying jealth issue but their doctors were just too lazy to look for it.
