Same... I am a former athlete and my legs became thin straight away. Blurred vision. Muscle twitching. The gut is probably THE most tiresome symptom... exhausting. Yep, that hollow eye look. Pale, puffy eyelids, frequently inflamed...I also have to remind myself to sit straight, when I do have the energy. But not always possible. Sending everybody out there hope, courage and a spark of happinnes to keep us going🙏🌟

Thanks

Changes in me that could be noticeable from before I was ill are:- Waxy looking face Grey eyes Yellowy skin Hair loss/thinning Muscle twitches Breathlessness Spots and ulcers Weight gain and weight loss Slurred speech Bleeding gums Body odour and bad beeath Hunched posture Laying down all the time, and sleeping during the day Clenching/grinding teeth Being oversensitive to smells, light etc Being unable to take medication due to severe side effects

[@DesertRose63]

The medication allergies & adverse reactions. You hit that nail on the head. I'm the poster child for "rare" side effects, such as psychosis. This 💩 sucks!

For me vision is a big one. I went to renew my driver license and almost did not pass the vision test!!!!! I had to squint and try 3x. Luckily I told the lady I had something in my eye and was also coming off of a migraine headache from last night. Lol. I have appt with my eye doctor next month because I truly fear that in 5 years when I have to renew again I just might fail. I am only 50 y.o. right now. Scary. I have trouble opening my eyes when I am tired. I squint a lot. Swollen and itchy eyes. I get facial rash similar to lupus. Butterfly rash on face. I still suspect I could have lupus as well. I am unstable on my feet and have had my legs go weak at times and fallen down. I get tremors in my hands and shaky in my legs and arms. Speech can be hard. Issues with word retrieval and sometimes I will stop mid-sentence and not be able to finish. It is embarrassing. I find it interesting you mention sitting up straight. I sometimes cannot sit for long periods of time, and yes, my posture is weaker when standing and walking. I can have trouble walking, too. Limping or stiffness due to weakness or muscle/joint pain. Sciatica is something I get bad on my right side mostly. In a flare. Not to be gross, but I can have gastroparesis during a severe flare, and I can have nausea and vomiting episodes. That is about all I can think of right now.....🙏

[@angiekereakes6551]

...all the same here. Thank you for these videos; causes me to realise these things ARE M.E. related.

[@asabjork87]

You are a fight4 for ME hero ❤

[@fight4me747]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@AnnBaxter-s2l]

The most noticeable with myself is my eyes go redish, resulting in blurry vision , my speech gets slurred and unsteady on my feet,and leg's twitching , thanks for your videos,take care

[@TheLynxsRealm]

Exactly the same for me

[@AnnBaxter-s2l]

Thank you for your reply,it helps to know you are not alone with this awful illness ​@@TheLynxsRealm

[@happiness6177]

Exactly the same too!! Identical.then Dr's think you've had a stroke. worse I am worse all are.I can't see at all at times.

[@happiness6177]

I'm identical too!!.Drs. then think I've had a stroke as my feet also drag & don t walk.Shocking visually exactly as you described.All symptoms as in video except hair loss.🍀all the best it's a hell of a disease & existence😢 🍀😊

[@rhondaevans4509]

Thsnk you. You have a calming approach. You are so sincere not all smiles all the time but so pleasant. Only those with these symptoms understand.

[@donnawiseman3686]

Nausea and sensitve to cetain smells is an issue as well. I also have fibromyalgia. Been over 20 years. Haven't had the vision issues though

[@2ladybughippies569]

You just listed everything going on with me + I have many more illness’s so it’s very hard to figure out which one is causing what. The bags under eyes surprised me !

[@Truerealism747]

Do you have fybromyalgia to

[@26pinkpixie]

I also bruise easily plus everything else you mentioned. I have six autoimmune diseases altogether plus 3 herniated discs in my neck, spinal stenosis, spinal arthritis, major depressive disorder, generalize anxiety disorder, cptsd can be a trigger for a flare with me. Thank you for sharing your story. ♥️

[@bernadettebrown1852]

wow i get those as well. i thought for a while i had ms because i struggled opening a bottle of coke, but its not constantly that bad. my worst issue is hip pain when i walk, i have gotten a walking stick now, but i try not to walk far. i also get these pains in my back, almost like spasms so if i try to pick weeds, it gets so bad i cant move.

[@chinookvalley]

Dr Mark Hyman is covering some things on his channel that might help. He did an interview today on autoimmune issues, and it made sense to me. I do take MSM and liquid cell food by Lumina. Saved my life. Traditional doktors have no clue what we are experiencing.

[@towerjunkie19]

Has anybody seen the episodes from The Golden Girls where Dorothy gets cfs? It was very good especially where she gets to tell one of the dr’s off that she had seen who told her she wasn’t sick she was depressed. We’ve all heard that from one or more dr’s. I hope that med students are learning about cfs and how real it is. I was 46 and very active when I hit the brick wall called cfs and the only one who knew something was really wrong with me was my husband. Family thought I was faking to get out of going to work. I lost all my friends cuz I couldn’t keep up with them anywhere anymore. You lose more than good health with cfs. My husband saw me go from getting by on 5 or 6 hours of sleep to sleeping all day long. Cfs is all too real.

🥀 SPEECHLESS 🥀To hear this = Me Exactly.many thank to you J.🥀

[@alysmarcus7747]

the bags under my eyes are insane - i have always had deep set racoon eyes - but after i got sick i actually have layers of puffy bags, the skin is actually differently coloured - it's bad

[@happiness6177]

Thank you so much for this Video Especially, Johnny❤. I have ALL those Symptoms & ++ too of course,but I've NEVER Heard them mentioned.Stunned to actually HEAR all this for 1st time & I'm a very long-term diagnosed severe Sufferer. Thank you so much for all your ongoing videos,support & info,fantastic ❤😊

[@donnahall104]

EVERYTHING!!😮 After 33yrs. I can with all the truth, say yes..Some things that I had forgotten.Now the "aging factor" has reared its "untimely"(I feel as though,maybe not at the "top" of but at least "in" the game) 😢 head. I often use your videos, as a reference point or to explain at a given time to explain to a "medical" lay person, also when it comes to a complex symptom, also to (PROFESSIONALS) it is such a help!Often a lifeline for "them"😂.Yes, pain will do that to you. Bless you for getting it out there, like you do😵‍💫😅. 💞 🙏

[@CricketGirrl]

I also have these visible symptoms. My balance is awful! Does anyone else have nystagmus? My eyes move involuntarily sometimes. My favorite way to beat the tightness in the upper chest and shoulders is to lay on a foam roller. It really opens up that area. It's been a game changer for me, and my posture is much better again.

[@Truerealism747]

Was the upper body pain daily are you hypermobile

[@CricketGirrl]

@@Truerealism747 I'm in the process of being evaluated for Ehlers Danlos, but nothing definitive yet.

[@CricketGirrl]

@@Truerealism747 yes the pain was daily

[@happiness6177]

Gentle hug,,, I think you are my ME brother from a different mother 😂 🥹. Thank you for keeping us sane by expressing what’s going on in your life than is so similar to many of us! I have Lupus and Complex Trauma. All this junk plays on each other to the point you just avoid because to the average world we appear like an attention seeking hypochondriac . Thank you for mustering the strength to create these videos. I’m sure it takes everything in you to create them. Love & prayer’s from Indiana
