Hello everyone ❤️
I am trying to understand what is happening to me, and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced symptoms similar to mine.
For the past few years, I haven’t felt well. But last 9 months everything has become much worse, and my life has changed dramatically.
I used to be a very active person. I worked hard, loved dancing, travelling, going out with friends, walking, and creating art. I’m a successfully graduated photographer. My dream has always been to travel, take photographs, and enjoy life.
But Now I struggle everyday and going out
For years, I have had episodes where my whole body ached, especially at night. When I lay down, it felt exactly like having the flu – deep aching pain all over my body – but I wasn’t ill with the flu or a cold.
I have had COVID twice in the past and I have also been through a lot of stress and trauma so I don’t know if either of those could have contributed.
I have been searching everywhere for answers. I’ve seen doctors, neurologist, been to the emergency department, called ambulances, paid for private consultations, and spent countless hours reading online because I simply didn’t understand what was happening to me.
A neurologist examined me and mentioned that I have chronic fatigue syndrome, but I still feel that there is something more going on
Some days I’m better, the other days I feel worse . But I’m struggling everyday
My symptoms include:
* Widespread body pain, sometimes so severe that I cannot sleep at night.
* Pain in my legs, arms, fingers, back, hips and many other parts of my body.
* Severe fatigue and exhaustion.
* Brain fog.
* Derealization (feeling like everything around me isn’t real).
* Dizziness.
* Numbness and tingling in my hands, arms, legs, feet, and sometimes on one side of my head or face.
* Pain in my legs that makes walking difficult.
* Difficulty doing even simple household tasks because I become exhausted very quickly.
*Episodes of high blood pressure and heart rate 170/110-160 like episodes after small tasks or sometimes during sleep(now become better)
*Shaking of my body, internal tremors
Has anyone here experienced similar symptoms?
Did anyone also have numbness, brain fog, dizziness, or derealization along with widespread pain and fatigue?
I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you so much. God bless
