I am new to this board. I have read a few of the threads talking about CFS. I just wanted to know if anyone could help me understand if I have CFS.

I am a graduate student, so most of my time is consumed in experiments. Throughout the day I need coffee to keep me alive, if I dont have any I fall flat. Its not like i am used to ro addicted to coffee, I just started drinking it a few months ago and just found that it helps me get through the day.

A few years ago, I suffered from the Steven Johnson Syndrome (SJS). After that, everyday has been exhaustive. Even if I am at home doing nothing, I am tired by the end of the day.I tried to look at the symptons listed for SJS and I can reconize myself with atleast four to five.

I have been feeling this was now for the past 2-3 yrs. I always thought it was an effect of the steven johnson syndrome.

I understand that a medical check-up would be the next thing.

Can anyone please advice..I would really appreciate it.

Thank You
