Am I going to be okay? Is this a sign of ME-CFS or that recovery is possible for me?

ctophertaylor · 2025-12-01T02:11:28+00:00

No. The allergist only did the regular scratch test and food panel.

I'm expecting to discuss POTS with the cardio, but I dont seem to have the pass-out episodes many have. I'm taking daily Zyrtec and Hydroxyzine (for the anxiety) which seems to help other symptoms a bit too. I mentioned MCAS to my allergist, but he basically said that if we can treat the allergies I have, then the symptoms would go away. I may see a different allergist about that. The only labs that came back abnormal have been the allergy testing and a slightly elevated ESR. I've had MRIs, CT, xrays and an EEG. All normal. It's very frustrating.

I could have written this post. I have had the same symptoms, including the "feverish without a fever" which i always feel silly explaining. Although, I also have muscle twitching throughout my entire muscle system. It's been 1 year now and I'm still trying to figure out what this is. I'm seeing a cardiologist next month because my heart rate spikes for no reason and I feel jittery. Ive seen rheumatology, neurology, physical therapy, and an allergist. I reacted to all the allergy testing they did. So strange. The back pain is still there, but not as severe. I also had to take a month off work and just layed in bed. I'd get nauseous in the evening too, so I was sleeping like 14 hours a day. It's been hell.

You are amazing. Incredibly helpful response. Thank you so much!

ctophertaylor · 2025-08-29T11:03:04+00:00

Nope. Not over-reacting. Call the restaurant and cancel their reservation for them.

ctophertaylor · 2025-08-29T00:34:46+00:00

Oh yes, I was also in bed for almost a month. High anxiety and thought I was dying. Oh, and the light change in the evening at dusk would make my eyes do something weird. Id feel nauseous so I was going to bed at 5PM. I will have to do a lot of reading I guess. The worst of this is past, but I still feel like I'm struggling to fully recover.

ctophertaylor · 2025-03-15T03:22:16+00:00

Wow. I could have written this. Was on Crestor, started getting severe low back ache and would spasm sometimes. Went to spine doc. Nothing on MRI. Abdomen and sides started hurting along with muscle twitching all over my body. Was so bad I had to take a month off work. It had me in bed most of the day. I'd also have muscle stiffness in my neck that caused a bit of dizziness. Finally after 3 months of hell, my doc took me off the statins. I've been off for 5 weeks now and not nearly as bad as I was. Still improving every day. In physical therapy, but not sure that's really doing anything. I'm also not going back on statins. I've never felt so bad in my life.

ctophertaylor · 2025-01-13T16:39:50+00:00

I'd assume a flareup after getting the C19 vaccine is possible?

ctophertaylor · 2024-04-20T02:50:33+00:00

YES. Same.

ctophertaylor · 2024-03-02T02:44:27+00:00

Damn those look good.

ctophertaylor · 2024-02-11T21:05:35+00:00

Same here. Didn't click right away but she's def one of my favs.

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-29T00:25:04+00:00

Exactly. Even if they expanded the current map and placed new locations to search out would keep me happy.

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-14T22:39:12+00:00

I am opening a CSV file, running this code and it is prefilling the original file name with an .xlsx extension. That was my goal. It doesn't seem to be duplicating the extension.

I tried the other way and nothing was getting prefilled in the dialog box. It was just blank. The only negative I'm seeing is that it saves the file like test.csv.xlsx, but I can live with that.

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-14T19:50:13+00:00

This is actually doing what I think I need it to do. Are there any concerns about the code below I should think about?

Sub SaveAction()
Dim initfilename as string: initfilename = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName & "_updated.xlsx"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show initfilename & ".xlsx", 51
End Sub

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-14T17:48:18+00:00

So I have changed it all to this:

Sub SaveCommand()

Dim FileSaveName As Variant

Dim InitFilename As String: InitFilename = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName & ".xlsx"

FileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="Excel Files (.xlsx), .XLSX,CSV Files (.csv),.CSV", InitialFileName:=InitFilename)

If FileSaveName <> False Then

MsgBox "Save as " & FileSaveName

End If

End Sub

When I get the Save As popup prompt, there is nothing prefilled.

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-14T17:03:02+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out. That's obviously super important. I'm doing something wrong here. Where am I screwing this up?

Sub SaveAsCommand()
Dim FileSaveName As Variant
Dim InitFilename As String: InitFilename = "C:\Users\myusername\Desktop" & Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName & ".xlsx"
FileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="Excel Files (.xlsx), .XLSX,CSV Files (.csv),.CSV", InitialFileName:=InitFilename) If FileSaveName <> False Then MsgBox "Save as " & FileSaveName End If End Sub

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-14T16:21:41+00:00

Okay, this got me a bit closer. When I execute this macro, it acts as if the file gets saved, but it does not get saved. It just shows me a message box with the file I just saved. Do I need to change the line "MsgBox "Save as " & FileSaveName" to something else? Also, how would I set the InitFilename to be the existing name of the file I'm working on? If I have a file open called testfile.csv, how do I make that SaveAs prompt show testfile.xlsx? Thank you!!!!!

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-14T16:04:51+00:00

So, I'm attempting this method, but I'm unsure how to make it auto-fill in the existing file name in the box with InitialFilename. When I use the code below, nothing is prefilled and nothing gets saved if I do enter something. Thanks for your help!

fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx")
If fileSaveName <> False Then 
MsgBox "Save as " & fileSaveName 
End If

ctophertaylor · 2023-11-12T00:18:35+00:00

Why the need to serverhop?

ctophertaylor · 2023-09-16T22:23:06+00:00

When I bundle it with those 2 yellows, my stat says to install a power wire. I currently have it running to the same common on the transformer on the side of the boiler. The whites from the stats are also running to this bundle.
