NEED SERIOUS ADVICE please!!! What is my problem??

Hello I am having a serious problem ever since I was small but it has progressively gotten worse. The symptoms are as follows:





1. When I was about 14 years old I first noticed that I had to read things over and over just to be able to grasp them. This is especially bad the more technical the writing is. For instance, history and science are very difficult for me. Anything that explains details rather than just simple facts is very difficult for me to read. The following articles are very difficult for me:





1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptidoglyc鈥?/a>





2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobu鈥?/a>





3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_mal鈥?/a>





I felt sleepy and exhausted after two paragraphs from each article above. My brain turned into mishmash and I couldn't absorb any more information. I also tire very easily when jogging for more than 20 seconds or having to do any task at all, physical or mental, for more than a few minutes. Even reading novels that I like is so difficult.NEED SERIOUS ADVICE please!!! What is my problem??
If it were only the cognitive, I'd think in terms of dyslexia, but with the physical....





You may be coming down with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. I know it's hard to diagnose, but start asking your doctor about it. There are blood tests for the Epstein-Barr virus %26amp; some other ones, involved...





Also, remember that if you HAVE or are SUSPECTED TO HAVE an illness that will interfere with your med school (if it's a public school),you can get a Section 504 accommodation plan, per the Americans with Disabilities Act, for reasonable accommodations in your classes. That may involve having other students take notes for you, having readers read the books aloud to you, and/or taping the lectures. Check into that.
