Mine is the one sided weakness, the swallowing problem, muscles cramping, neck stiffness. Also having to take muscles relaxers all the time really sucks. Whats the worst ones for you?

Pain! Achiness/soreness that comes and goes in arms, legs, back, hands and feet.

The most annoying symptom is the muscle twitches.

I have suffered from many symptoms including bouts of fatigue and memory loss but skin hypersensitivity (painful to touch) was worse than anything.

Neck/back pain,brain fog and fatigue

the eye twitches drive me nutty but they are mild comparitively.

it also really scares me when I have periods of numbness or burning, and wondering if maybe I am really just CRAZY

headaches are the worst
followed by abdominal bloating/cramping/motility problems
followed by nerve pain-zings and zaps and razors and pins in muscles
followed by dizziness
followed by everything else under the sun!

Bad headaches. Lasting days to weeks. (Previously lasting MONTHS to years so life is good.)

Mental blank-out/inability to process or remember information.

The blank mind
hands down is the worst

I hate being so tired
and the pain too

but I worry the most where will my mind go?

This terrify's me .

I don't want to lose my conciousness,my soul,my feelings,my thoughts,my essence.

Mine used to rotate. It was either pain, brain fog or fatigue. It was like they took turns messing with me.

The one that would bring tears to my eyes was pain. And I had three different types. Bone pain, muscle pain and joint pain. Four years ago even with pain meds, many days I had alot of breakthough pain. No amount of pain killers would stop that pain.

Thank God, the worst is behind me.

Cognitive impairments & confusion.

Depression & guilt-why do I feel so guilty about being sick?

It was migraines...thank God they are gone!

Stomach pain!!

Depression-feeling like I will never get to feeling better again.

The rest I can handle-muscle aches, joint pain, brain fog, skin pain.
