Hi all, i am a bit confused atm.
my sister was diagnosed with CFS last yr and not long after (in april) i was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hands. soon after i was getting the same pain in my hips and leg getting alot worse when i try and walk, the physio done a phone diagnoses and said it was a slipped disc, but i am waiting for an mri scan to prove its the arthritis!!
after having my baby 18mths ago i cant stop falling asleep and its getting worse. my partner just laughs and says i'm a deadhead!!! i cant help it, one min i'm awake the next i'm waking up a couple of hrs l8r, extremelly dizzy and disorientated and shaky, cant walk or get up without falling for about 10 mins. when i get tired i cant really speak or function properly but during the day i dont feel tired just fall asleep so i dont feel it coming on. it is alot worse after i've been up and doing something, from as little as the little housework i can still do to walking to the shop or the school run. its been getting alot worse and now i am waking up in the night shaking and cold sweats but that out of it i still feel asleep! i just lay there for what feels like hours but is probably only minutes. my iron levels are fine but the dr has me on folic acid just incase because of the arthritis!
i get pain up my spine, my hair falls out in clumps, my appetite has gone down.
does this make sense to anyone??
please help
