    Do your symptoms take turns?

    Someone asked me recently if I thought it could be all in my head . I chuckled and said, "Yes, it probably is".

    My symptoms seem to rotate. Once my awful nerve and muscular pain is under control, the cog fog sets it. This was why I recently lost my job . Now my brain seems to be slowly working better everyday. On the flip side, every day my brain works better, my pain grows. Is this normal? Can't a girl get a break? My symptoms have not let up completely since June of last year! They just seem to take turns.

    same here, when one part of my body is fine, another is a failure. It's been a long time since I felt 100% fine. Sometimes I think that I've already forgotten the feeling
    But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world,
    Somehow I have to find.
    And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world,
    I will learn to survive.

        When one symptom gets worse, that takes my mind off the others. Bit like having a headache, then hitting your thumb with a hammer. Headache, what headache?

        Thanks to my "I'm an extra in The Walking Dead" way of getting about (though they don't seem to fall over, and they can walk up hills), I'm not thinking about my numb fingers and feet as much. They're still numb.

        I've not felt 100% right for years. Not even a generous 50%. And yes, I have forgotten what that really felt like, though I can still dream.

          Same here. I started 'feeling' indecisively better in December. As not all the symptoms get better at the same time. Yesterday my Cog Fog seemed completely gone, not today. I stood up a few minutes ago and it seemed like I had a brief reminder of my balance issue returning.

          I promised God if I could get my balance back, I'd do better and not complain so much. I am keeping my promise and God reminds me, balance can go, again.

          Yesterday, I cleaned my furnace filter (outside) vacuumed my living room and watered my outdoor raised flower gardens. Put away some clothes I washed many months ago and then picked up my car from repair. Drove around for about 75 miles, testing my car and making sure it won't 'let me down' again. Then I went out to dinner.

          Of course, I am a bit impatient and tend to spout off things with little thought. A neighbor was giving me a hard time and accused me of 'flooding' the street. He was blind as a bat and it struck my, flight or fight gear and I actually had, for the first time, some legit anger and put it back where it came from. I told him to go mind his own damn business.

          When I was taking my central a/c.heater/ pads up from my driveway, that same guy was walking by again and started asking me what i was doing with my filter, as if I was tossing it in the trash (he is a HVAC man--a/c&heating specialist),

          I told him I flooded the street washing it. He was going to tell me I can re-use it, i could tell. I can't stand being treated like a single stupid female. Even if I do, do dumb things.

          Later, a good neighbor and friend ask me what I paid for the repairs to my car, I changed the subject. She came right back and asked again. I said, "it is none of your business." She was taken back for a minute and I told her, I keep my finances to myself, it isn't anyone's business. Well, unless they wanna pay it.

          Now, that may not seem like much to many..but, I do know many can relate, as well. I could not sleep last night for fear all my symptoms would return, when I awakened today.

          Today, my muscles just hurt like hell, all over with the aching pain of doing something physical..soreness. I took today off. The nice thing about that is, it enables me to connect more, with my online friends, the last ones left that can tolerate me and only folks I haven't shut out of my life.

          Disease made my world get small and yet opened it up, worldwide, when on the forum. fed
