Are these symptoms normal? I am really tired most of the time, without doing anything. That is probably the worst of my complaints, the rest I can deal with.
But my head feels unusually heavy and the back of my neck burns (like a massive sunburn that won't go away) and the burning spreads up to my head and down to my back and out to my shoulders. This whole area is extremely sensitive to the touch, but my cold hands do ease the burning sometimes.
Another big problem for me is brain fog. That's the best way I know to describe it. I have to write everything down otherwise I forget. I have even forgot my bank card PIN a few times. Luckily my hubby was near and could step in and take care of it. (We were in the market food shopping and my mind went totally blank) I can go about 2 hours and then I start being easily irritated, noise really bothers me, and I just have to lie down.
Oh, I forgot about sensitivity to cold, which has been going on for over 2 years now. And the middle part of my back is pretty much ok. But the upper and lower parts are in constant pain (bearable, but extremely frustrating).
Does this sound like fibro or cfs? I've been to the doctors and am just impatient. For a long while my doctor just told me to rest and take it easy. I used to be very active and enjoy working, but now I'm not physically able and I'm trying to figure out how to get a part of my old life back. The psychologist told me that I may just have to accept this as a 'new normal.' So I'm trying to figure out what 'this' is. Any ideas?
Thanks
