#21 - Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a sister to lupus... in my humble opinion.


Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome include:

*muscle pain and/or twitching

*joint pain but without swelling or tenderness

*on-going flu-like feelings

*headaches which may be migrainous in character

*problems with balance

*unrefreshing sleep pattern

*sore throats

*enlarged glands

*intolerance of temperatures extremes

*alcohol intolerance

*postural hypotension (low blood pressure)

*sensitivity to bright light and loud noise

Oh, my gosh....I had almost all of those, and had no idea! Even the postural hypotension....

Thanks for posting this. I sort of thought I must be a hyperchrondriac.

PS I added you as a reader to my private journal..
