It starts out with extreme sleepiness, usually right before bed. Then the fun starts!I go into a delerium –like state. Almost like a have a really bad fever or something. But I do not have a fever. After a crazy night, I wake up feeling like a train ran over me. I get extreme muscle weakness along with shortness of breath. This will continue well into the day, and by afternoon-ish time, I begin to feel yucky all over. The crazy thing is it follows no particular pattern. I can start to get “it” in the afternoon, and be fine by bed time, or be great all day, and have it hit me while I’m sleeping. I’ve seen at least 25 different doc’s, have any blood test ever invented, 2 MRI’s, all negative. On paper I appear to be the picture of health. Have been told by one numb-nut doc that it’s all in my head. I’m beginning to wonder now. At what point do you give up and say- this is how I’m meant to go? I believe I am reaching that point. I just want to be around to finish raising my kids you know? Comments
