"It started when I was off school with a bad sore throat. I felt
so tired. I found it difficult to get out of bed in the morning and
slept in the afternoon but then slept for hours at night.
I used to be really good at tennis and I was in nearly all the
top sets at school. I really wanted to get back to school because I
knew I was getting behind. My friends came round to see me after I
was ill, but I felt so tired that I could only see them for a short
time so they have now stopped ringing and coming round. I do miss
them but I feel too tired to contact them. If I do anything then I
need time to rest. The other day I went out to the shops with Mum
and Dad but then it took me three days to recover."
