I didn't have any sleep problems for the first 15 or so years of my ME, then insomnia became more common. I never suffered from ME's muscular fatigue. General fatigue has been with me since the start.

Thank you for you response. I have I think an atypical CFS/ME case. Debilitating muscular fatigue (i cannot write with a pen without experiencing horryfing PEM), PEM, autonomic small fiber neuropathy symptoms. No general fatigue (energy levels better than before getting sick), refreshening sleep.
