Brigite,

Do you still have your implants in? If not, have you seen any improvement? My symptoms are certainly getting worse. I used to be able to work out a few days a week for several weeks and then I would start to feel bad over night it seems. It has now been about 9 months that I have felt pretty bad. Some days I feel ok with a little tiredness and stiffness and sometimes I feel awful.

Thanks

Mine are still in. I'm 31, and have gone downhill since 22 with all this. It took about 2-3 years for the fatigue and pain to get so bad it took my life away completely... and I'm not a "wimp," either. I'd never been the sick, whiny, or lazy type. I worked out before all this, and had an active life.

I'm working on affording explant, though it seems like a long road to wellness even after that.

I know I definately still feel this way also. I am only 42 but feel like 52 when I push myself too hard.

On Saturday I felt pretty good, so I decided to mow the front lawn. It was pretty long because we had not touched it in a while because it has been so hot here. After I was done, I was totally wiped out. I layed down and took a nap, got up around 7pm and then had no trouble at all going to sleep again later that night. I did the same thing on Sunday (the nap that is) and was out of work yesterday because I felt so bad. It seems after activity like this I get SO fatigued and have pain all over. I feel a bit better today but my joints still hurt and are stiff.

Thanks

My guess is that you'll get a lot of "yes's" on this one.

Yes here, but I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I can't even walk around on my lawn, much less mow it...

It was several years of things like that getting worse and worse, until finally I fatigue kept me from not only doing things like that, but also walking, shopping, running errands, and eventually even "talking" if it's over 30-60 minutes ---- which led up to the diagnosis. (CFS makes your throat sore, and your eyes swell up as you get exhausted during the day, by the way... or at least it does in my case. It also does it to me if I talk, like I was saying. Face to face socialization is nearly impossible.)

I have to sleep a full 12 hours per day, and some days I sleep up to 20 hours per day. (Just unable to move.) After taking an antibiotic or going through a busy week, I have to literally sleep 6-8 hours, be up 2, go back to sleep 6-8 hours, be up 2... It takes that much sleep to work up 2 hours energy and I do that in cycles for 2-3 weeks or more until I can get back to my normal 12 up/12 down.

Keep tabs on the dates you're starting to notice fatigue, and if things like this happen over 6-12 months, and worsen to these points, ----they may diagnose you with CFS. There's really nothing special they do for it. They just shove vitamins and B-12 into you.

Same with the joint part. I think about everyone on here has Fibromyalgia and/or degenerative joint diseases. (Part of the Fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria is also having chronic pain for 6-12 months, as well as other tests. It's not only joint/skeletal, but also muscular. My thighs, arms, and neck are worst.)

Anyway, just answering since it fit me.

Hang in there...
