Epilepsy. ADPEAF?
Haven't had a seizure in 6 years. A family member has the exact same type. But we arent officially diagnosed. But I put it here as confirmed either way. Had this since a kid during the night only. Manifested with the exact same nightmare everytime fullowed by me waking up to what feels like my brain getting fried. It feels way to hard for my brain so im just waiting for it to short curcuit. I am present during all of it. My family member has the exact same presentation with a nightmare (quite similar to mine which is interesting) followed by the seizure.
Carpal Tunnel if I type too much. Comes fast!
Ive had Bakers cysts but I have gotten rid of them.
------------------
I am a little perplexed as to how well "functioning" I can be without crashing even though my general symptoms are very severe. My days consists of being reclined in my bed using my macbook, driving to the store, going outside and lay in the sun all day if its summer listening to podcasts and music. The sun makes me feel better so Im thinking of moving somewhere sunny one day. Its possible I have forgot something essential in this list. But basically my only? issue is that my muscles burns out very quick even though I can do somethings which should seem impossible like having sex for example.
My symptoms are in a way almost like severe myasthenia gravis ish. Though if I pace perfect I can be pretty "functional". I have pretty decent energy levels on the regular. Though not when I crash as I have right now.
I go to the store and buy food for 1.5 day at a time, watch tv or browsing the web on my mac connected to my tv, drive around town quite normal have sex for up to 45 minutes quite intense though I cant stand so this happens horizontally but having said that my muscles can burn out from grabbing a glass of water in the wrong angle and that can last for days to weeks. have quite normal conversations in terms of length, make my own meals which consists of grass fed burgers etc. I can sit-lay in my bed using my mac with keyboard and mouse connected to my tv all day unless my eyes are burnt, stomach musles are burnt, lower back muscles are burnt, neck is burnt or my arms burns. I can drive for hours on the highway but Im more limited if I have to do a lot of turns etc. I wont be affected cognitively by driving either as others do.
So when I have a good balance with pacing I can almost feel nornal in terms of no inflammation feeling in my body.
That said. I cant do none of these things if one of my muscle groups are burnt out which happens very fast if I do the wrong thing.
-I cant read that much because my eyes burns out.
-Involuntarily falling asleep after physical exertion of the eyes:
If I read too much, it can be 10 minutes on my mobile. So, without warning, I can get so burnt out in the eye muscles that I "acutely" feel absolutely awful all over my body and my body shuts down where I eventually fall asleep involuntarily. Often sleep for 3 hours and wake up still feeling terrible. This happened a lot earlier this year but STOPPED after starting to use my prism glasses though I have to be careful.
-My eyelids can be droopy at my worst
-shortness of breath at times. happens more often if I have burnt out one muscle.
-chewing harder foods.
-Cant play xbox since the small muscle tension you make during gaming is enough to burn my stomach muscles.
-Accommodative spasm, dry eyes, photosensitivity, burning pain in the muscles behind the eyes, sore worn eyes. I sometimes have trouble tracking with my eyes. Very limited mtp reading. At times I can not read at all due to the symptoms mentioned above.
- I cant do anything without full body compression as every body part will burn out making me feel horrible with inflammation feeling, terrible pressure in my calfs from what is most likely blood pooling and burning pains.
-Without compression my arms would burn out a lot quicker from typing, driving, making food.. everything. That being said my function level is still extremely limited but I can do more with compression which is interesting and it keeps the pain away also for the most part.
-If the mattress I lay-sitting on is too hard and I dont have the perfect mix of duvets and pillows in my back it will burn out my stomach muscles to the point I cant "lay - sit"/recline there.
Symptoms:
- Extremely fast / fast muscle exhaustion that can take weeks to recover.
-Have great difficulty walking, standing. Though compression helps a lot.
- Can not carry things (1.5 kg max ish).
-can not sit upright, must lie down or sit reclined with a carefully constructed duvet and pillow construction behind my back. Its also important that I have a somewhat soft mattress.
-quick fatigue in the jaw muscles, prevents me from speaking at times. -and chew food at times
-must drink the food on rare occasions
- abdominal muscles get burned out when I speak.
lower back muscles burn out quickly.
-Eyes quickly burn out which prevents me from reading, watching TV, mobile. Cant have texting on the TV because I will read and that will burn out my eye muscles. But I can watch TV just fine most of the time if I dont have texting etc.
-brain fog if I push myself too far with conversations though its not that often.
-extreme muscle pain throughout the body if I have overdone it. Burning pain.
-muscle cramps and twitching throughout the body thoug magnesium, compression and pacing keeps it in check.

Here is a very messy list of symptoms I have translated in google translate I thought could be worth adding though I dont have the energy to correct the spelling etc right now as Im in a crash.

Must eat soft foods (ground meat). On rare occasions I must drink food. Can not chew hard food. Then I burn my jaw muscles and can not speak.
Can not walk in stairs on the regular as this will burn out the muscles in my legs.
When my stomach muscles are burnt I can not laugh so much.
if I stretch at the wrong angle, too high up with the arm, etc., I burn the muscles in the arm / shoulders. Days to weeks
Can not cut my nails on my feet
Cramps in the abdominal muscles if I do as well as my stomach and lower back will burn out
Blood pooling in my legs is a big problem.

must sit in the shower and Must be quck when showerin or else my stomach and lower back will burn out.
Sleeps with hearing protection.
talking can be too much due to abdominal muscles is burnt out, jaw muscles and on rarer occasions cognitive.
has happened that I can not walk at all. due to the legs being completely burned out.
the muscles can burn out before I have time to get register it. which makes it very unpredictable.
Though I with real compression and pacing I can have quite good muscle endurance in my legs.
Abdominal cramps if I sit wrong
carpal tunnel coming fast in both arms when typing fast and too much. That also triggers coat hanger pain.
nerve pain in the arms.
fingers stiffen - carpal tunnel if I write too much
very limited on keyboard at times.
harder to drive. abdomen, lower back, legs, arms. I need to lay backwards to not strain my stomach muscles but then my eyes gets burnt so I need to swtich back and forth sometimes.
really sound sensitive on occasions. Though other times i can listen to music loud without any issue at all.
Dysautonomia Symptoms:
Blood accumulation in the legs. Have had swelling but could be caused by my compression, idk.
