This article was excellent. I wanted it to go on longer!

One thing that dismayed me, though... at the end she spoke about

people with CFS sleeping late vs. people with depression waking

early. I have disordered sleep and so I wake up multiple times a

night, and I end up being awake and unable to return to sleep between

5 and 7 a.m. after having gone to sleep at midnight or 1:00. I work

2nd shift (modified noon - 9 pm) and so I would LIKE TO sleep until 8

or 9 a.m., but I can't... After reading this, I'm now wondering if I

am suffering from depression and not CFS or FM. I get exhausted just

about the time I should be going to work. Now I'm wondering if this

is all psychosomatic!! Confusing!

I don't know K2, I don't think there are a lot of " black vs white " when

discussing ANY element of CFS........we are all so different, I don't think I'd

let my waking time be a determinant factor. Check it out with your doc for

confirmation.

Just my 2 cents!

Thanks,

Thanks. I have SO MANY other symptoms, it just can't be

depression " alone " ... I am also a very happy person, so I just am in

denial that I could have depression. Maybe I don't understand what

depression IS. I have had at least 4 doctors say that I have

depression and not CFS or FM. I dumped all of them lol! I just think

I have way too many other symptoms, and really bad pain and fatigue,

that it just has to be FM or CFS, but I can't get a diagnosis. I'm off

to get my blood tests re-taken -- the most recent doctor, the one who

believes me! LOST my blood!!! Grrrr.
