Guest guest Posted January 3, 2000 Report Share Posted January 3, 2000 Thanks to all those lovely wonderful people that e-mailed me direct. Bless you for your support and concern. If Only I had known about this disease and this group sooner it would have made many years of aloneness not be quite so bad. No Chiara dx, but synptoms are:Profound fatigue, heaviness in arms and legs like weights, slowed reflexes, blurred and cloudy vision, hearing loss, hoarseness, (loss of singing voice), knot on left side of neck, restricted movement, can't bend over without feeling like head will blow off, anything and everything tires me out quickly, balance and coordination problems, intoxicated look, shallow breathing, narcolepsy (can't stay awake) or insomnia (can't go to sleep, frequent urination, unsteady gait (have to hold on to something and perception problems (think the vehicle is moving when it isn't, and last but not least is " brain fog " , which I named " brain dead " a long time ago for that is how I feel that my brain has died and my body and mind separate. No doctor ever understood it. No medications help the symptoms. Last November diagnosed with CFS/FMS and Mitral Valve Prolapse, which they gave me anti-depressants for that never helped. So what's next without treatment, surgery? Is there any medicine anyone has found that helps? What about cost of surgery, MRI (CINE). Money is a a big factor so I may remain the same, and slowly get worse??? Thanks again for your concern, support and enlightenment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
