    Any? Ever? Probably. Nothing unusual though, and nothing around the time of falling ill. Who knows though, some people count moving house as a traumatic experience.

      I didn't have tonsilitis when I was younger. These past 5 years I've had it 3 times a year... usually get bad headache and earache then the tonsilitis. This time I had a headache then severe tonsilitis out of the blue. I couldn't get out of bed I felt so ill and dizzy and developed an infection in my mouth. Tried goin back to work and only managed half a day cos my legs were aching so bad I could hardly walk. My symptoms have all developed from there really.

      I always get it march/April time and august/September time. Then the other one can vary but there's always a good few months between them. Just don't know why it's caused all of this when I'm usually okay. Take antibiotics and I'm fine.

    For me, it's a yes.  I had a neurologic event which seemed somewhat like a stroke or T.I.A.  I woke up during the night, got up to go to the washroom but fell to the floor as my legs didn't work.  I had numbness on one side of my body and vision issues.  Prior to this event I was quite healthy although did have some stress in my life.  

    After this neurologic event my health started to decline about a month later with fatigue...I thought it was all just stress.  Obviously there were plenty of doctors visits and tests to rule things out...I'm just giving the bare facts of what I consider to be the beginning of my new reality.  I just didn't know it then.

    My trauma was giving up smoking after 50 years or so of being a heavy smoker.

    Hi Simon

    February 2002...I was thrown from a horse and landed hitting the back of my head so hard that I lost 3 healthy back teeth in the impact, they literally came out of their sockets (one on my left 2 one my right)...diagnosed with soft tissue damage around

    top of spine!

    6weeks later early april 2002...bitten by unknown poisonous insect on trip to USA

    this sparked a major fever 2days after returning to UK... wound infection at site of bite and treated with antibiotics for 9months.  Carried on working but never recovered and was forced to stop work altogether in march 2003.  Have had severe me/cfs ever since.

    I know I have problems with the HPA axis and also had mitochondrial function test which shows extremely poor mitochondrial function and energy conversion.

    I hope this helps with your research, I am happy to answer any questionsbiggrin
