Hi all
Long term diagnosis of cfs/me. Diagnosed in 1992.
I posted a while back about my symptom change ,from 2009 to present.
New symptoms with the usual fatigue problems or some times lack of fatigue problems were-
Brain fog/mental fatigue/concentration/memory/recall/learning tasks
Speech problems/slurred speech
Crushing pain in feet/toes
Muscle pain/stiffness
Heaviness in legs ,such that I found it more difficult to lift my feet when walking
Various pains/sensations like numbness, pins and needles ,cramps, tremors,
balance problems, crushing pain and problems with hot .cold and having problems with keeping warm ,insomnia and very poor sleep ,fatigue and sudden onset fatigue which just levelled me.
I have just recently been diagnosed with RA ,Rheumatoid Arthritis after just one flare-up.
Has anyone else got this with CFS/ME and do the symptom changes sound familiar to anyone in relation to the RA?
Could the RA have been the cause of the change in symptoms but only just recently materialised?
I understand that you can get PEM after activity but mine were permanent or is that more in keeping with CFS and not ME.
Cheers
