I was diagnosed in 1994 after many months of testing. I was so sensitive to heat that I would wet my top sheet and wring it out good and lay down with a fan blowing on me. I had a lot of fatigue and spent a lot of time resting or sleeping . I got up only to eat and use the bathroom. I am not as badly affected now but not quite in remission either. I walk kind of funny but only my friends notice most of the time. I fall down frequently and store people freak out thinking i am scamming them to sue them. I just tell them I have a condition which causes me to fall and ask them to get a couple of handsome fellows to hoist me up. I have fallen down my back steps on my back landing on my concrete car port. That was pretty awful since I cant take any pain medication. Now I have other health issues and its hard to figure which symptom goes with which condition. Sometimes I think its easier to list what I don't have than what I do have. LOL I just hang in there and get through one day at a time.
