Thank all of you for your support. I am have always wondered if I have CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). I do get the sore throat and tender lymph nodes. Occasional body aches. From what I understand CFS has alot of strange sx. Some are POTS like sx. My sx wax and wane. Come and go.

My BP has always stayed right aroung 120/70. I have never had it checked while standing so I dont know how it would react. I can tell you that I defeinately feel that changes.

Hi my name is Mindy and I am new here. I have been having problems for about a year now. Mostly since the birth of my son in Aug. 07.

Here is my lists of sx

Fast heart rate (I've had 2 doctors tell me my heart rate was fast they never looked into it)

Brain Fog (This vareis comes and goes)

Fatigue (This can get bad sometimes)

Muscle Twitches (never in one spot comes and goes sometimes I dont have them at all)

Dizziness/Fainting (I sometimes get dizzy upon standing. Sometimes its so bad I have to sit back down or I will faint) I've had this for a long time. Thought it was normal. I have fainted before when I was 16 then again at 19 and then again 2 months ago. All upon standing except when I was 19. I was pregnant then. Bending over and standing back up sometimes creates a headrush/dizziness. Going up flights of stairs can wind me and make my heart rate to go up.

Speech problems (comes and goes like I cant get the words out or they come out wrong)

Sensory overload (was bad at first not so bad now)

This is some of my major complaints. I have been to 2 neurologists and many doctors and nobody knows. My PCP thinks I need to see a shrink.

Here are the tests I have been thru

Thyroid

SSEP

EEG

EMG

ANA bloodwork

other routine blood work

Vitamin D (which was low)

Could I please get some feedback from all you guys. I would appreciate it.

THANK YOU
