I've got both too, I got it from having undiagnosed type 1 diabetes plus severe flu whilst my mother was undergoing chemo and radiotherapy after a double mastectomy and my sister was making a false court claim against me saying I owed her £30,000 (all extremely stressful, both mentally and physically). I never found the CFS changed my levels though, but then maybe I don't know because it hit me within a week of going on insulin. But with absolutely no discernable short term memory it made it extremely difficult to work out my injections (and whether or not I'd already had them) and it made it very hard indeed to cope during hypos because my brain was already nowhere to be found before the low levels came into play too. So writing it all down was the key. I'm 2.5yrs in and had recovered quite well since Easter, but having now been ill with viral and bacterial bronchitis for two entire months I'm back to sleeping through alarms and forgetting things again. The thing that helped the most was cognitive behavioural therapy, which not only taught me what I could probably expect with CFS but also how to manage the little energy I had better - it's called 'pacing'. Very helpful. Try to get on the waiting list. You could also contact the ME Association. Your daughter is going to have to learn untold levels of patience now - because there's no magic cure, it will just take time, so she'll have to learn how to make the best of things for the moment. One good thing about having no short term memory was the fact that I rarely remembered how awful it all was for more than a split second at a time.....
