a poll on symptoms
To what extent would this description of a different disease (to be revealed later) apply to you during an "off" period? Not all of them apply even in the actual condition so don't think of it as a comprehensive listing. For example, mine might include ABCDEGHIMOP
Patients first
-A- lose their alertness, then their
-B- muscle strength and
-C- coordination.
-D- Thinking grows fuzzy, and finally the patient becomes so tired that he
-E-becomes "zombie-like,"
Additional symptoms include
-F-headaches,
-G-double vision,
-H-staggering or inability to walk,
-I-a craving for salt and/or sweets,
-J-abdominal distress,
-K-chronic colitis,
-L-ringing in the ears,
-M-unusual patterns in the frequency of urination,
-N-skin eruptions and inflammations,
-O-pain in the neck and shoulder muscles,
-P-memory problems, and
-Q-sudden and excessive sweating.
