Just curious.

Really hard for me to choose as there are so many awful ones...but,

wired, overly-hyped nervous system

...if I could get rid of that...it would be heaven.

Well, now that I'm almost better, I'd have to say insomnia.

If you asked when I was really, really sick, I would have said fatigue.

My "heart attack" symptoms, as I like to call them. Chest pain, shortness of breath, left arm pain, dizziness.

Fatigue for sure!!

Then pain that comes from doing things when you are not fatigue.

Since I am fatigue so much I don't do alot. So when I do get some energy then I get the pain part.

Hard to choose just one. I don't know which to choose from. Either the extreme neck stiffness and back pain, feeling like I'm going to lose consciousness any moment, or where I feel like I've been poisoned and every part of my being just aches and feels very 'off' and weird.

But then of course I'd also love to get rid of the chronic tachycardia I have and get off beta blockers for it... but I don't see that happening any time soon. I'd also like to get rid of palpitations for good.

My weird dizziness. Have had it off and on for 15 years following bulls-eye rash. It has been 3 years straight after steroids for 1 month for a mis-diagnosis of Meneire's Disease.

It is like getting off a treadmill and still feeling like I am in motion. Motion sickness without the vomiting. It really s***. [dizzy]

Ditto.

I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in August 2007, but I now feel it was a misdiagnosis. I was finally properly diagnosed with Chemical Sensitivity in February 2011. My life has changed drastically since then.

Fatigue.

My brain is doing a lot better, so if I could just get rid of the fatigue, it would completely change my life. I would actually have one!

Well my first thought would have been the heart symptoms. But those are gone with treatment.

Now I have to say "Hyped up nervous system" MOST DEFINITELY!

My mind. As someone who likes to think this is almost like some biblical curse.

The brain fog as it is so aptly called really makes you feel like you are no longer you.

I can take the pain and all the other weirdness, but having my mind impaired really blows.

Hmmmm, that's a tough one, either anxiety/panic attacks (which have gotten much better) or fatigue. today I am so tired, I've been in bed most of the day, although at least my 5 and 2 year old will let me lay in bed while we play 'barbies' together =)

What sweet babies I have, they are my reason for living every day =)

Take care,
Ocean

Yes AL...I think you're right on your 1-3. I too hate the neck pain, my fatigue is manageable however, dizziness is also a bummer for me.

I believe I have dyautonomias as well...will any of this ever improve?

I apologize, as I think I am at a low point right now; but, the thought of living another 30-40 years in this state - status quo - is really more frightening than it actually just killing me.

I am feeling frustrated with my poor response to tx. 13 months into tx with very little improvement. Sick for 4 years with Lyme and all co-infections prior to diagnosis.

Anyway, started this thread just to see what ails others the most. Wishing everybody improvement. Thanks for input and keep it coming! TS
