how do you know if you have chronic fatigue ?

The past 3 days I have been so tired and lazy, lounging about and feeling like i just dont have the energy to do anything..i have bouts of this then return back to normal after a week of it. Why do i get like this ?

Must admit ive eaten alot of chocolate this week, after eating it i feel all hot in the face. ?

Fatigue is just one of the symptomns , its a myth that it is the main symptomn or only one, to be classified as having Chronic fatigue/ ME you have to have 6 of the recongised symptomns from the world health organisation.
Here is some information on the symtomns & diagonase and action for ME have loads of information too.I may add this is a doctors view- the idea of recover in 1 or 2 years is laughable to most suffers.
However as the first article says it is very hard process to get diagonised with ME and you have to have most of the symptomns for at least 6 months- a diagonaises is a very long ardious process.

I'm confused as to why people think this diet would be unhealthy. It would have protein, carbohydrate, fat, I'd definately get my 5-a-day fruit & veg portions. The variety of veg, nuts & seeds i'd be eating would contain all necessary fibre, vitamins and minerals. I'ts just that it's made up of foods I either rarely eat or have never eaten before, which is why i wanted help with recipes.

I'm not doing this on my own, i'm seeking advice of my doctor. My mum has severe food intolerances and true allergies so I know how to cope with omiting food groups and still eating a balanced, healthy diet. I also know that this is a traditional method of finding out foods which cause you problems. I don't want to do a lab test as I don't want to spend money if i can help it. This way may take more effort but it is pretty reliable, and pretty cheap.
