Can Chronic Fatigue syndrome be Mito related?

January 4, 2005

Hello! I hope everyone is having a good day. I have a few

questions.

Dakota who is Joey's 11 year old brother who has shown soft signs of

Mito, yet never tested. Has been dealing with several issues in the

last 6 months. I have ask the question before about his patechiae

rash which they really thought it was caused by Lupas. Well the

finally ruled that out and says he has a second hand Arthritis from

something.

We are having trouble keeping Dakota awake. He can sleep 12 hours

at night and wake up ready to go back to sleep. He is very

forgetful. Lots of knee and hip pain, with no swelling. Just

always looks like he always feels bad. He looks very pale, yet not

anemic. His white and red blood count stays about 1.0 low. SED

rate is high.

Our doctor is planning on talking to a Diagnostic(sp?)Dr. in St.

Louis and see if he has any ideas. Dakota has never been a

complainer and I HATE to see him like this.

I read some on CFS and they were talking about Fibromialsia(sp?). I

wasn't sure if kids could get that or not. I always was told that

is just a name of issue they can not find a Dx. for. Yet I have a

very close friend who deals with it every day.

And help would be great.
