This sounds pretty familiar to me! I've had CFS for about three years now. The tough thing about CFS, though, is that it takes awhile to diagnose. There are other diseases that cause the symptoms you are describing, and it is important to rule them out first. If you want to learn more about CFS, CFIDS.org is a great place to start. Also, there are things that you can do on your own now that will help you to start to feel better. The most important is called pacing, and there's an article about it here: http://www.chronic-fatigue-community.com/chronic-fatigue-pacing.html.
I wish you the best!
