Limpy - my first trip to the ER (and thankfully only trip- the admit happened through my dr's office).. was due to fast heart rate with palpitations and well I felt weak, but just thought it was a result of the heart.. I was post partum, so figured it was just post partum hyperthyroid or something (i had my thyroid checked a billion times - always normal)..

Anyhow.. I had some crazy palpitations.. but what got me to go into the ER was my resting heart rate was in the 140's... it was awful.. this stayed that way for weeks on and off, mostly on! My resting heart rate is almost always 100 or more since onset of this.. It used to be in the 60's before onset of symptoms..

seshin- yes my muscles are tender to the touch.. when my kids climb on me it's quite painful.. especially my thighs and calves.. It has got to be a part of all of this.. though I'm dont' know what all of this is!
