ME is what fits my symptoms best.
Now it's ME, in your post before that it was MS?
So far you do not match any of the required symptoms to get an ME diagnosis by the CCC definition, nor by the CDC definition for CFS.
You were the one who insinuated that I was making this up.
I did not say that you were making your symptoms up.
I was questioning your perceptions and appraisal of these symptoms. Given their relative mildness (some foot pins and needles, some muscles aches, and some swollen lymph nodes with occasional node pain), to perceive these symptoms as a "very serious life or death situation" situation (to quote your words), and to say "I'm thinking the only way out is death", seems to be rather over the top.
So I wondered whether there may be some psychological reason for this, such as anxiety, that's making you so worried.
What diagnoses have your doctors given you, by the way? Has any doctor suggested that you may have anxiety disorder?
