I am not on anti depressants so i think it's the endo that does it. I have only knowm about it for a month but I have had chronic fatigue for about 4 years and lots of pain. I don't always have a "Reason" for being so exausted, so like you say every one thinks I am faking it or I want attention. It really irritates me because I am 27 years old, i am not a child who needs to fake an illness to be petted. I really don't need attention. I just want someone who will listen to me talk about how I feel and not say I think it's all in your head you read too much. I wish people understood how dibilitating this disease is without actually having to suffer through it, because i would not wish all of this on my worst enemy. I also read somewhere that Fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome has been linked to endo, the endo triggers it some how I think. You can ask your Doc,but they usually don't see fibromyalgia as a real disese, so it may take a specialist. My aunt has it. Do your muscles and Joints ache like when you have the flu, for no reason at all? That is one of the main symptoms of fibro/chronic fatigue. I only know this because my aunt has it and she told me the symptoms so I could talk to my doc about it if I had them. Any way you are not alone in the fatigue department and even if everyone else thinks your faking I know your not, because I have it too. Heather
