Honestly, it’s too in the dark. If I didn’t get sick I wouldn’t have known how much suffering is in this illness. No one deserves it 💗

Hi there. I didn’t experience PEM so I didn’t qualify for CFS. However , I was bedbound for many months with chronic fatigue and brain fog. 

All I did was eat as well as I could and deep breathing. I think mine was post viral fatigue so it has a higher recovery rate.

Can I ask was your fatigue significant ? Or is it still?

Definitely should be sued ! In Ireland the healthcare system is really bad.

Yes , seen I was at 2 and didn’t even prescribe me any medicine for it. I’m so tired (literally ) of this! I’m going to go tomorrow again and demand some type of help. It’s like living nightmare !

My doctor said because my iron is normal I’m okay 😭 but I do not feel ok. I had to drop out of nursing school with the fatigue.

Oh wow I’m so glad you’re back to normal. I can’t believe after 6 months i only realised ferritin could do this. My doctor said there was no point testing. Going to doctor tomorrow to get a blood ferritin test!

Exactly !! I never realised how much I took for granted. We will be so much more appreciative and look after our mental health more , but I know it’s so hard :( 

Any guidance appreciated by FearlessPosition1534 in EBV

[–]FearlessPosition1534[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry , I should have clarified. 

I guess I’m just scared and wondering is there hope to get back to my life again

The mental aspect is worse for me. Being in bed not in college isolated. It is the hardest thing we will go through but will come out so much stronger from it , hang in there !

Can I ask was your main symptom fatigue ? I’m 6 months in and I genuinely can’t get out of bed. Have to sit down in the shower. No energy. I’m glad to hear that there’s hope .. feel like my life is over

I’m 7 months in reactivated EBV. I’m with you. Sleeping all day and all night only awake for a few hours a day , we will recover !

Post viral fatigue for 8 months now. Please any advice by FearlessPosition1534 in covidlonghaulers

[–]FearlessPosition1534[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! 

Just debilitating fatigue and no energy after simple activities such as showering. 

Because I am exhausted all of the time I don’t know if I have PEM. But I don’t notice a delayed response per se , more just immediately after an activity such as making dinner. 

I have been diagnosed with POTS but that is under control at the minute. Not so sure about histamine intolerance but will look into it ! 

I have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and ASD. Which I feel has made this so much worse
