She is so tired she can barely lift her head off the pillow, but no one can diagnose her symptoms, other than to attribute them instead to menopause or nerves. Is this a figment of her imagination? The patient is usually a Caucasian woman in her mid-thirties. She's active and busy trying to manage a family and a job. Once healthy, both medically and emotionally, she suddenly comes down with a flu-like illness, in which she has a fever, swollen lymph glands, and a sore throat. She experiences an extreme fatigue that is so debilitating she can no longer perform her daily tasks, even getting out of bed is a chore.
