Hi all, I have had CFS since 1994, but recently I believe my doctor may have misdiagnosed me. That is, just two months prior to getting my CFS symptoms (rapid heart rate, heart palpitations, fatigue, muscle weakness, etc.), I was up hiking in the wilderness area in NE Oregon. Over the last two years now (2005-2007) my fatigue has worsened and in March I ended up having a tremor episode at work (hands shaking, teeth chattering if I was cold, but wasn't and body shaking, blurred vision) that sent me home. Now, since mid April I have a muscle atrophy problem in my legs that has baffled all of my doctors. I'm now being sent to OHSU in Portland, OR. I have also applied for disability since I have been unable to work since the end of May. Even when I was working, it was for only two days a week, 6 hours a day due to my unrelenting fatigue. Does anyone here have a muscle atrophy problem or tremors? My neurologist gave me a blood test to test for Lyme disease, but I found after researching onine that it's not very accurate, especially when a lot of time has past, and in my instance, 13 years. Thanks! Equine_gal |
