I honestly have never experienced anything like this before in my 13 years of illness. The day after Christmas I crashed hard. I was unable to do anything except lay in bed. I had no energy...felt as though my body was a shell totally drained.
I was completely physically dead inside but very untired...what I mean is I was not sleepy...I didn’t sleep at all during the four day crash during the day.. The other thing is my eyes felt like they were on fire. They burned all four days even using eye drops.
By day five I was able to get up and even go out for a couple hours. The burning eye pain was gone but I was still extremely drained. Sunday I had PEM from the prior days two hour outing.
I will have to admit it was embarrassing because my mother in law was here and my son from Boston and I was unable to do anything with them. This was not my usual PEM...it felt so different.
Any ideas...adrenal crash/burnout? I have an appointment with my endocrinologist next week but I know it’s slim she will believe in adrenal crash/fatigue.
