How does a person know if they have chronic fatigue syndrome?

I notice I have been sleeping a lot, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and been using the cipap machine however its been over 2 weeks and I haven’t seen any results, now I am starting to think its chronic fatigue syndrome. How do i know if i have it? and what are the symptoms?

I too found out that I had sleep apnea. When I started the CPAP machine I thought all the symptoms would magically disappear, however, they did not. One dr. explained to me that these symptoms were there for a long time and would take a long time to overcome. This helped me put it in perspective and I found it was much closer to 2 - 3 months before I felt any recovery from the interrupted sleep caused by the untreated sleep apnea. Try to use your CPAP even when you take a nap during the day. The sypmptoms of Chronic Fatigue are very much like those of untreated sleep apnea. So give the CPAP treatment much longer to take affect before delving into another diagnosis. You have enough on your hands right now - I know because I’ve been there.

    The Canadian ME/CFS definition is the gold standard recognised nowadays. See here: http://fm-cfs.ca/resources-p.html
    I wouldn’t bother too much with the CDC (USA) definition. It’s fairly useless.
