A member asked:

Still feel weak and my sleep was never refreshing. could this be chronic fatigue syndrome or barr epstein virus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ronald Krauser answered

Possibly FM: More likely it is an issue of sleep disruption. Get a sleep study first unless you have the typical findings of fm.
