This isnt going to be all that interesting post but i just wanted to keep track of what was going on for me as far as medical stuff goes. I will at some point probably soon do a post on how my CFS/ME started 13 yrs ago and all the over 80 symptoms ive had with this illness.
My CFS is very very mild compared to what it used to be.
I havent had a panic attack in years with the CFS but had one a couple of days ago. It wasnt a bad one as i didnt even realise at time I was having a panic attack (just thought i was very upset and crying) but my friend pointed out that i was actually hyperventalating as well, to which I then started to try to slow my breathing down but couldnt. I ended up hyperventaling and gasping.
This sucks as I learnt how to control the CFS panic attacks years ago by deep breathing and visualization as soon as one starts but now seem to have lost the ability to stop one (or maybe im just out of practice seeing it's been so long since Ive had one).
Another symptom which has come back recently, which i hadnt had in 6mths is the morning stiffness. Im back to hobbling about in the mornings with stiffness and a little bit of soreness in my calves. This has happened most days over the past couple of weeks.
I dont have a clue why these symptoms have come back but wonder if the anti-inflammatories im currently on or the recent drug trials in past couple of mths have sent me down hill a little. I dont care much about these little things as Im used to dealing with far worst, long as they dont get worst. Finger's crossed.
