Does anyone or has anyone ever experienced a bout of akathisia / severe restlessness without taking any meds?
I have had ME for nearly 10 years, mild to severe and everything in-between. I know suffering, vertigo, gastroparesis, hemiplegic migraine, restless legs, dysautonomia, the list goes on. But since covid my life has been torture.
Feb - covid
March - Hypnic Jerks / insomnia
April - anxiety / derealisation. Took 4 mirtazipine pills for sleep
May - things worsened and then developed akathisia
Akathisia symptoms - severe restlessness, burning skin, adrenaline dumps, want to crawl out of body and run away, panic, pain everywhere, agony everywhere, blurred vision, can't sleep, can't eat, can't relax, can't focus, can't think.
Akathisia is usually as a result of pharmaceuticals, worst offenders being SSRI's and anti nausea meds. There didn't seem to be a correlation with my taking mirtazipine as the restlessness developed over a week later.
I am considering my symptoms as being a result of neuroinflammation post covid, But what do I do? Will it go away by itself? Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? anything at all, honestly.. i'm so desperate.
