Artgirl..... what do you have in the art studio? You returned to it, and then had a relapse?

solvents...paints? I've been thinking about that.

Thank you for your thinking this over.
I use watercolor and do a lot of drawing and photography.

The last few days my exhaustion has been so deep that I have barely been able to drive. It's like it's incredibly difficult to even move - as if my limbs weigh tons. Sleeping quite a bit. Then, yesterday, I could feel the pattern breaking. I was able to cook dinner for the first time in about a week. There seems to be some sort of cycle in the feel okay for a few weeks then crash for a week to ten days, with considerably more pain levels. I have no idea what starts or stops it. That's why I was so excited when I first started my supplements....and so sad when the positive effects began to wane.

At any rate, everyone's symptoms seem similar yet unique. I'm still very grateful to have found this site. I have adjusted my supplements as you suggested and will see what happens next.

Thanks again for your input.

There is a virus going around that causes a horrible fatigue.

I mentioned it to a friend and she said her doctor told her about it.

I had something 2 weeks ago... lasted almost a week. I was taking naps every day, and then bingo it was over. My friend thinks I had this mystery virus! (I thought it was my old mono coming back to torture me!)
