Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

[ross201]

Anyone on here ever had chronic fatigue syndrome? (CFS). If so is dizziness a symptom?? And what else did you experience?

Dizziness is a major CFS symptom: as if you're walking on rubber or a rotating floor. There is also the dizziness/light-headedness of fluctuating BP, which is a distinctly different sensation. Pain is another symptom that isn't always attributed to CFS because it can overlap with fibromyalgia symptoms.

But we could discuss symptoms all day... Best to make an appointment with your GP and get a referral to see a rheumatologist if you're really concerned. Or however it works in the US.

I started to look into the possibility of having CFS a few months ago at the height of my issues - severe tiredness, weakness, not being able to breathe properly at times, dizzy spells. Turns out I had a severe iron deficiency which was diagnosed through a simple blood test. Your doctor will be able to help. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
