I suffer from fibromyalgia, which can make me have extreme 'brain-fog', and i have also been diagnosed with re-curring mono. which leaves me exhausted, but, all of my life i have either been completely wiped out, or feeling on top on the world, and full of energy. when i'm down, it can last up to a year. i won't barely leave my home, take care of myself, anything, and then, one day, i wake up and my brain is clear, and my energy is surging and i'm constantly in motion. what do you think? any ideas?

Hi there, Sister! Isn't fibromyalgia the pits!!!!! I have it as well as IBS and arthritis. Yuck!!!! I was treated for depression for over forty years before a good psychiatrist properly diagnosed me as Bipolar; the medication I take has given me a whole new life! I have to wonder about ALL those Docs I saw who didn't pick up on it and kept me on anti-depressants! It is certainly worth pursuing a proper diagnosis! Good luck to you! Hugs, Gina C.
