Does she have sleep apnea, or is her sleep often disturbed?

If you don't mind going one more beach over, Lonely Beach has the Warapura Resort.  I rather liked it -- very clean, elegant, and pleasant.  I was by myself, and took one of the smaller rooms at 2000/night.

Pessimist.  That's what they said about brain transplants, and look where we are today.

I had it for a while, triggered by a rather nasty antibiotic-resistant infection that was improperly treated by my (American) doctors.  Despite killing off the infection, for quite some time after that point I still got worse.  All that anyone could really tell me was that it was "autoimmune", my immune system going haywire as a result of the long infection.  At its worst, I was able to sit upright for about six hours a day -- not accomplish anything else, just sit up.  My problems eventually mostly went away on their own after about 18 months.  My overall energy levels have never really recovered, but that may just be hitting middle age.

A friend's brother was diagnosed with CFS when he was in high school, with no indication as to what started it off.  It took about four years before he recovered.

There are probably several different underlying causes with similar overall symptoms -- sort of like how "dengue fever" is one of either three or four related viral infections.  It's a "symptomatic diagnosis", not a specific one.
