I doubt you've only been ill for a week. It 's just that at some point your body had enough and your symptoms became unbearable. I never had the crippling fatigue until about four or five years ago...but other disabling symptoms were there ( BAD endometriosis for years, chronic constipation where bowels almost never moved, etc. )
You cannot rely on traditional doctors to get better. They'll just set you back and make you feel like you're an idiot ( even though YOU know your body better than anyone else ).
And most alternative ones lack the experience to do much. You really are on your own for the most part...that's why this site is invaluable. My advice would be to read EVERYTHING you can get your hands on and get to work. It's not an easy undertaking, but well worth it in the end. I am so proud of myself and my thinking has shifted over the years. I am not the same helpless person like most in society today, depending on someone to save me with a magic pill.
