Re: Stress Sensitivity/Physical Symptoms When it Ends

[Guest guest]

Based on what I've seen with both opf my daughters the answer would be yes.

They manage to get through the activity or stressor but pay the price physically

and mentally for hours to days afterward. Examples: lies loves youth group.

When she attends she seems to do fine during the meeting. Afterward she almost

always has a migraine headache, intense muscle pain and will sleep for the

better part of a day or two. We are in Milwaukee for clinic visits. The first

two days the girls stayed awake throughout the better part of the day. By the

third day both girls fell asleep on the examining tables in each clinic waiting

for the docs to enter the room (and were back in bed by 9:00 which is very early

fro them.

Thank you for the input, Joanne. Yes, that is the sort of incident

I mean. In members of our family, a lovely, anticipated big outing

or trip can lead to heavy over-sleeping at the end of it, even

though the energy seemed to be available during the event itself.

Not just normal, catch-up sleep, either, but drugged/comatose sort

of sleep that can last up to 36 hours at a stretch. It's always been

a mystery.

This seems like a very supportive and informative group, by the

way. No family member of mine actually has the mito diagnosis yet

though, so I was hesitant to go into introductions. I am " testing

the waters " to see whether we seem to belong in the mito category

first. Doctors believe it is a possibility, but nothing solid yet.

My grandmother came from what is known as a " genetic isolate " -- a

tiny island community where ten families inter-married for four

centuries. She had seven brothers with serious heart defects that

killed most of them by middle age, and all but one of her six sons

had heart bypasses by their 50s. Lots of autoimmune disorders too.

Her daugter is my mother, so the connections in the maternal line

are there. Even so, this remains speculation.

I have to agree that this sounds very normal for me. The result might

not happen until a day or more later or immediately.

When I first got ill, I was asked to work a 60 hour week to meet a

deadline, and I had to take the next week off to make up for it.

For me it depends on the type of activity - I seem to well during

stress, but unless I have strenuous physical activity (=high heart

rate and aerobic exercise) as well, I suffer for the next few days.

Take care,
