Chronic fatigue syndrome or post viral syndrome?

Does anyone have this or know anything about it?

I had pneumonia a couple of months ago and I am just not recovering. Someone suggested Post Viral Fatigue Sydrome, I've google it and it explains everything. All the symptoms I have been worried about.

Just wanted to see if anyone had any experiences of this? Thanks Smile

When you say you are not recovering, do you mean that the symptoms of the pneumonia are gone, but you still feel awful?

Not surprising after a massive infection, but it will pass in time.

I hope you are looking after yourself, conserving energy as far as you can and not trying to be all things to all people. Take all the help that is offered, and if that is not enough, ask for some more. Go to bed by 10.00 and stay there until as close to 9.00 as you can manage as often as you can manage. Eat well and take a good multivitamin. Stop before you get really tired. There are no prizes for carrying on.

Half the problem these days is that we think a week’s antibiotics will fix everything, but unfortunately it doesn’t. Our bodies need time to rebuild and recover and you need to take time to do this now.

Hope you feel better soon OP.
