I donīt have positive tests either and thatīs why youīll find I havenīt specifically statedīMGīin my post - and usually donīt when referring to my own symptoms. So thanks for writing and sharing this really interesting account, Geode.

One thing I do know is that after 2 years of chronic fatigue some years ago, cognitive dysfunction was very generalized, just like the condition itself. Once I was cured of it I noticed my brain was extremely hungry for stimulation so I would read tons of neurobiology books a week, play complicated piano music - almost as if the brain was starving for exercise. I also feel that my brain is now razor sharp compared to what it was even before the CFS started.

The cognitive episodes that I had recently mirror the exact same type of muscle weakness that is occurring this time round – it could of course just be one great big coincidence......

Hey Celeste! I think you can not pronounce yourself insane until thousands of doctors and neurologists do so first!!!! ...... ... ... ...
