WHY? WHY? WHY? Doctor thinks I am crazy

My doctor will not diagnose me with CFS even though I have every symptom and it had affected me emotionally, physically and mentally. I know I have suffered with this for years and the more I try to explain this to my doctor the more he thinks its lack of exercise. I think deep down he thinks it is laziness but that would be unprofessional for him to say.
Every since I was little I loved sleep. I could never get enough of it. 12-14 hours a day were not enough for me. It would cause my school work to suffer. I would be so sleepy in school that they thought I was a day dreamer so I was subscribed Ritalin. This helped my focus some. When I got home from school I would crash on the couch and sleep for hours afterwards not having much time to do my school work. I would wake up in the mornings feeling tired and weak. Like I had not slept in years but I actually slept well. After I graduated from school and went on to college I was still suffering from this. No matter how much sleep I go it was not enough. Always feeling weak, flu like. I started missing class because sleep was more important to me at the time. I finally dropped out and started working two jobs. Trying to stay so busy to convince myself that I was not lazy. I really wanted to work and succeed but there were some days when I would wake up and my body said it was not going anywhere. I would have to call into work because I could barely stand I was so tired.
Now I am a Stay at home mom of two kids and I still have this issue. No matter how much or how little of sleep I get it is not enough to function on a normal life. I have tried and tried to exercise which I enjoy doing when I have the time and I feel good while doing it. But after an hour I get really sleepy again and I get bad headaches. After months and months of working out and this still continues I know I have a problem. My memory is horrible, I can not properly function, I am tired and sleepy all the time, I feel weak like I am coming down with something, muscle tiredness, etc... It is affecting my relationships with people, has affected my work ethic, my schooling in the past, my ability to commit to anything. I am really concern that all these years I have suffered from CFS and now that I discovered this is what I may have my doctor seems to overlook this and thinks I am crazy for bringing it up.

You definitely need to make sure your doctor not only believes in CFS but is knowledgeable about it. I was very lucky that my doctor diagnosed me with CFS shortly after I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I've been managing with it for 17 years and he keeps up to date with all supplements etc. I thought my daughter might have had it as her fatigue was off the charts with her Lyme Disease but she ended up testing positive for narcolepsy. That's something else to be tested for when dealing with fatigue. Good luck to you both.
