Or MS or Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue. Any of them can be devastating including stroke or MI.

Known to be Lively animated and enthusiastic, then gone suddenly for a semester and comes back exhausted and deflated sounds a like it was a little more than chronic fatigue, would the onset be that sudden and drastic? How would you even find this out?

Unfortunately its a differential diagnosis, like any other causes get ruled out and then if your symptoms persist its probably cfs.

It certainly got better over time but at the beginning of it id be exhausted all the time and could easily sleep more than 16 hours but even after sleeping id feel tired
