    I was off work for 6 months! Slept a help of a lot of that, but it did trigger depression with me too which was a factor.

    Umm its anything from 2 weeks to 6months. I had it a few years back took me a good 5 months to get over it. And i've not been right since. Everytime you get run down it can flare up, and relapses can happen. Which I've got at the moment.

    But in the meantime its an excuse to sleep, if your in college make sure your teachers know about it, and also when it comes to your exams if your still suffering get a note from the doctor, it helps with the marking.
