WELL, KIM, AS LONG AS HE IS DOIN BETTER NOW, HON !! AND WE HOPE IT KEEPS

UP !! 8^)

LIKE I SAID, HE HAS BEEN THROUGH A BUNCH OF TESTS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT ALL THE NAMES ARE, I KNOW THEY TESTED FOR MONO AND HE WAS SENT TO AN INFECTIUOS DISEASE DR BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY A COUPLE OF TIMES. NOTHING. HE IS NOT ON ANY MEDS EITHER, SO THAT CAN'T BE IT. I REALLY LIKED THE BOOK I READ BY EDWARD CONLEY CALLED AMERICA EXHAUSTED. HE ALSO SAYS THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS AND SEVERITY OF FATIGUE.

KIM

AND KAREN IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT OTHER THINGS MUST BE LOOKED AT. (MONO ? EPSTIEN BARR ? NARCOLEPSY ? ALLERGIES ?) I WOULD ALSO ADD SLEEP APNEA, LYME DISEASE, AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS. YOU ALSO NEED TO CHECK IF IT MAY BE ANY MEDICATIONS HE IS ON, EVEN ONES HE HAS BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME. THESE CAN CAUSE SEVERAL CFS-LIKE SYMPTOMS, AND IF HE HAS NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH A MED BEFORE, THEY CAN BUILD UP IN THE BODY UNTIL IT REBELS. INSIST ON TESTS UNTIL THEY FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.
