Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I recently got a doctor's diagnoses of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or CFS. 

Sounds like a crap diagnosis, and in a lot of ways, it is.  It's kind of a doctor's way of saying "I can tell there's something wrong, but I can't find anything in tests.  But there's something wrong, and it's messing you up."  Some may read this as the doctor brushing off a hypochondriac.

According to the CDC, however, it is a real condition. 

What it acts like is Fibromyalgia's annoying, less-debilitating, little brother.  But it does sometimes interfere with getting work graded on time.
