No, my ability to fall asleep had switched off overnight like someone had flipped a switch. I had been sleeping like a baby with uninterrupted sleep for years before that. After 3 days from not sleeping I felt like was going to have a seizure so my doctor rx'd me trazodone. I went to...

Resting can make some people feel fairly normal when they're recovering from PVF. That was my experience. I rested for 5 1/2 years and never experienced PEM. I made one mistake by working out on my stair master and couldn't walk for 6 months. I told myself that I better not exercise...

Vestibular disturbances: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29562557/ Interpretation: The major findings are that poor balance may be associated with poorer self-reported physical health. In addition, CFS patients seemed to rely preferentially on visual inputs, regardless of whether it was...

"Robson said other post-viral syndromes like myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) can be instructive in what living, working and seeking supports is currently like and can be improved". “It seems to be that same biological connection to a viral infection and similar...

This was my experience too, I had hypersomnia in the first 9 years of M.E. I woke up feeling refreshed, but still needed to nap soon after I ate breakfast, after lunch and then fall asleep early in the evening. When severe insomnia hit 10 years later (lasted 2 years), I longed for the...
