April 2017: Initial symptoms appeared: fatigue, constant headache, low fever, red eyes

May 2017: Head pressure added to the initial symptoms and puffy and droopy area above eyes

June 2017: Crazy feeling of sleepy head and stomach issues, as well as never taken before daily naps. Eyes feel sleepy and dry. Take naps in my car during lunch breaks. Feel despair.

Meanwhile I was tested to everything under the Sun

October 2017: constant low grade fever gone but head pressure and fatigue still there

2018 and 2019: Keep losing jobs due to inability to concentrate and that fatigue

2020: Hopeful that's the year when the disease ends. As of January 2020, I still take daily naps. Area above eyes is still puffy and droopy. Head pressure is gone thanks God. Able to hold a job now with lots of rest after work and on weekends.

    Have you tried seeing a functional medicine doc in your area? I would look into that. It might be worth your time and money. You have to hit the reset button on your body, Only eat clean foods, tons of water, vitamin b shots weekly, take L-Lysine supplement and try light physical excersise.
