I was looking for a new place to find similar people who can relate and compare my symptoms to see how well it matches because my other forum I was hanging out on the CFS and fibro sections got an overhaul that is practically unusable on my computer resolution. I'm not ignoring what DK says. I...

You can suggest it but there is only one person who can suggest any limits for me with impunity and 2 who can do so because it's their job but I will fire them for someone else if they repeatedly do not match my point of view. If I had not already switched to a sword class because I listen to...

My cousin was giving me a hard time and then not answering my FB posts for complaining of the cold last year. It's not just uncomfortable but at a certain point that is well above freezing to death I actually feel a sense of panic over being cold. My brain thinks of nothing but fix the problem...

This forum is getting annoying! I have to stop it from loading the page, tell it to fully load the page, type my response, copy my response, reload the page, paste my response, and then submit or it either reloads forever or times out and I don't know if it sent. Again.. On Amitriptyline...

If I'm not sleeping at all I am sleeping most of 24hrs. I don't know what to do. I get one good day or 2 in between the sleep deprivation and the low energy of hypersomnia. I don't know why. No one knows why. I have taken every sedating med out there and I'm still on 4. :( I want to enjoy...

My doctor won't combine a stimulant with my insomnia meds. He doesn't believe in doing things that way. I could really use something more efficient and not as bad for my heart rate as caffeine when I wake up. I'd get more done and probably sleep easier but because of all those nights I don't...

I was just debating a thread on the topic. I have been down for the past week in exhaustion, can't stop sleeping, don't feel motivated.... Today it went from 40s to 80s and I slept late just because I had denied myself sleep to try to fix my sleep schedule but I hopped out of bed with no...

I'm not sure my last post went through. Site is being weird. Constantly reloading a page over and over until I tell it to stop and sometimes giving me posting errors. I was just wondering what specialist you would see for something like fibromyalgia or CFS? The general practitioner I have...

It's my life. I have bursts where I get things done and I drag myself hiking as much as possible but I am never not tired and there is never a day everything is done. When a "crash" hits I sleep nearly all of 24hrs and when it doesn't I need 10hrs and my brain will only function well for about...

It's not pain exactly. That's what makes it so hard to quantify. I once made a thread of "pain but without pain" to try to describe it. It's not like being injured or overworking a muscle or stretching something too far. It's deep and makes me not want to move. It's taking an extra...

I know my post is long for most people to read and answer but my life has been complicated. Aside from all the potential things already treating pain I have a very high pain tolerance so things may go unnoticed. Apparently often pain reactions happen when I'm not fully awake. Right now both...

I was sure the "do I have this?" questions would be numerous and look there's a whole section for it. My situation is complex and my brain is all foggy and tired but I'm trying to leave the blackout curtain open long enough to cool the room so I will try to get started and probably ramble on...
