I'm really glad that you're getting this checked out!
Sleep apnea is a definite possibility, but your doc should check your thyroid levels and your blood sugar. Oh, wait. Your best friend is a doctor. Never mind. :-)
I have one friend with fibromyalgia and another with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and they had to be tested for everything under the sun before their docs diagnosed them properly (since I gather that there's no real definitive diagnosis for CFS, so the correct way to diagnose it is to test for everything else!) I hope whatever you have is simple and easily fixed. But if it doesn't turn out that way, keep going back to the doc and insisting on being listened to until they find out what's going on and fix it.
*hugs*
P. S. -- My own health has been sucky lately, so I might or might not make your birthday dinner. But whatever happens, I WANT to be there!
