    Yes! When I had a relapse, I started having all sorts of nerve symptoms, like burning, tingling, and heaviness in my legs and arms.  I've read that one possible cause for this is that the small nerve cells in the brain are affected.

    Yes!  Every night I have to stick my feet out from under the duvet or else I'd never get to sleep.  Still toss and turn all night though.  Fingers not too bad but I do have heaviness in my legs.  Didn't realise that this could be one of the sumptoms of CFS though eek.

      What exactly are you diagnosed with? How long have you been having the symptoms?

      IM diagnosed with ME/CFS and hyper pots.   My doctor did wonder if it was more serious like MS... but now i now its not.. This was written 3 years ago when the symptoms where really bad but they have settled somewhat over time. It turned out to be hormonal and in fact Peri Manopause.  Its a common symptom when going through menopause  I think it was mad worse by the ME and the pots which is why it was so severe .  Both myself and my doctor did not make the connection even though at the time my female hormones where  clearly on the fall.

    Yes, I have had burning feet but not the top parts of my feet, just the underneath, like really, really bad sunburn heat.

    hi

    Yes, I do.

    One of my worst experiences is around bedtime. I can anything up to two hours to get to sleep !

    I am very aware that my husband has to put up with me tossing and turning every 5 minutes. We have talked about it because I feel so guilty! particularly as he works full time in a very stressful job. I started by going into one of the spare bedrooms but quickly realised it was affecting him emotionally so try now to stay in our bed and work through it.

    Funnily enough, last night I decided to start my relaxation/meditation/breathing techniques which I have been reading up on and It took much less time to get to sleep and this morning, I woke at 7am feeling so refreshed; I was even afraid to get out of bed in case it was a dream !!!

    Well, that's my story and I hope it will continue to improve day by day.

    If you haven't already, give it a go.

    The meditation techniques are called Chi Kung.

    Good luck Rose

    hi again

    By the way Rose, since taking the smallest dose of Lustral, 25mg for 4 weeks then up to 50mg, I have noticed a huge change in my hands and feet.

    They are no longer freezing cold.

    I discussed it with my doctor first and he agreed I should give it a go.

    His words were, "You are one determined lady!"

    Not sure whether that is any help for you.

    My cousin and sister both have ME (16 and 10 years respectively) and that tablet has worked for them. My cousin is recovered and my sister is well on the way.Best wishes

    Jinny

    Me too, I also need to keep my feet out from under the duvet. I know it sounds strange but I also shed my toe nails once a year for the last couple of years... I know "Strange"

    Hello everyone,

    Yes! I have explained this to my neurologist many times and he gave up on me and offered no real explanation except it's post viral symptons.

    I had this so called post viral fstigue since September 2014. I am not as fatogue anymore but I find numbness / tingling in my arms and legs. Not constantly. It comes and goes. Similarly I have burning sensations particular in my left leg. It bothered me a lot before. I know it's hard try not to let it bother you as stress makes it worse ... I take cod liver oil and magnesium tablets since September but I do not see a real change ...

    Does anyone here get aching feet. Soles and heals. Although it is not excruciating it is uncomfortable sometimes like tender. This is my main concern.

    Much love and healing everyone

    Elle

    Mine don't burn, they itch.  Just between the toes.  It's distracting, but I put some lotion between my toes, and I can usually sleep.
