    I feel like I have a fever with flu like symptoms when I get a flare up

    I get 'hot flushes', neck flushes especially, but it may also be perimenopause or migraine attacks which also make me more susceptible to heat and weather (Nor-Wester winds are bastards).

I think that may be the universal experience though, and I've gone through...

    A number of unknowns in the process of diagnosis

    Hi, I'm brand new here, but posting to just try and get a bit of perspective, guidance and advice from those with more experience, as this seems to be an illness that still so many seem to know so little about (or don't even believe it exists). Long read ahead, my apologies in advance: So I'm...
