@Dechi It takes me about 2-3 hours from the time I wake up to being "fully awake". I'm in a hazy mental fog during the transition.@Webdog I have 2 unrelated questions for you : what do you mean by " 2-3 hour wake-up period " ? Do you mean you sleep 21 hours per day ?
Why are you diagnosed 84%-91 % ? Just curious, these are very precise numbers, and why not completely diagnosed ?
I'm diagnosed 100%. But according to the 2015 Institute of Medicine report, 84%-91% of ME/CFS sufferers in the US are undiagnosed.
An estimated 84 to 91 percent of patients affected by the condition are not yet diagnosed (Jason et al., 2006b; Solomon and Reeves, 2004), and people with ME/CFS often struggle with their illness for years before receiving a diagnosis.
