Reply #16: I was "always tired" and always yawning throughout the day for years [View All]

but last year, I was diagnosed with "sleep disordered breathing" -- meaning I had numerous episodes of shallow breathing during the night, leaving my brain deprived of the appropriate levels of oxygen, and accounting for my tossing and turning, minor bouts with insomnia, bizarre and vivid dreams, and other problems. I thought I was getting enough hours in, but hours don't count if your sleep is not "productive".

Unless you have a lot more symptoms of CFS than just fatigue and headaches, get a sleep study done. It's painless. :) If they don't find anything, then move on to other possibilities.
