Does anyone else experience cfs minus the sore throat, raised glands and pain? My fatigue is daily chronic fatigue where I am exhausted in eyes and head and body can feel heavy and exhausted doing anything around the house. Crashes are horrible and hit after any stress or anxiety, and mostly after exertion.
I crashed Sunday night within a couple of hours of going to the park with my daughter. Today I have crashed after doing some housework. Silly of me as I was in such a horrible crash yesterday, felt 20% better today and I've done housework and within an hour I had the weak legs hitting again which is my first sign I'm crashing.
I get severe high weakness and it feels they're almost burning but weak, when I walk j feel I'm bouncing in the legs or sinking into the floor and this can trigger very high anxiety on walking. I avoid walking all I can as it causes panic attacks if I do during a bad crash. I feel weak, nausea, off my food, I feel swimmy of giddy in my head, horrible weak bouncy legs and like I have high anxiety. Crash days are awful and I have to rest when they hit. I call those my 10/10 days which I had yesterday and today a 9 and stupidly back into a 10. I seem to crash quick after exertion.
I've not had cfs 100% confirmed but suggested by 2 doctors, but one of which sometimes tries to say I'm just depressed which is not the case, I'm depressed at my situation but desperate to be active again as this is ruining my life.
Does anyone else crash without the other symptoms or just have the fatigue issues? I have to write a letter to my new gp as mine is leaving and I want to make sure I'm informed and not going to be laughed out of her appointment with me for suggesting cfs. I've been this way 18 months and need this firmly diagnosing so I can work on recovery.
Sorry to post again, I promise this is my last question on the subject of symptoms lol!
