Some people do have that experience; for me it has been a gradual recovery over 2.5 years. For me I found taking things one day at a time, meditating and doing less have been helpful. I find when I do things like church or indoor soccer, I feel much worse. A trip to the mall with my pre-teen daughter can wipe me out. Now I am much better then I was initially but I still have to plan for events like a trip to the mall. In fact, I have just asked a friend, who has been volunteering to help, to take my daughter to buy a dress. In terms of socializing, I can sometimes do one on one talking with a friend, but other times it is just too much effort.

Thank you so much for your insight..... I will have to rent that movie. Can you share your story and symptoms with me? Are you working, can you work out? I am so sorry to hear about what you have been through but am happy to hear about your progress .... BUT it seems so long
and it seems like you still have to avoid certain situations. I guess I am still in the phase of forcing myself to take the kids to, for an example, Toys R Us, and then being in agony. Did you have sensitivity to fluorescent lighting?
