Tiredness and PR

I found this forum today and heaved a huge sigh of relief that I am not the only one buttoned to the neck and feeling like a freak. Thank you all!

I started to get spots about 2 weeks ago and finaly noticed the 5 cm herald patch across the base of my spine not long after.

My Doctor diagnosed PR, but it although the spots are crap and I am getting obsessed with counting them everyday, does anyone else feel exhausted and achy all the time?

Glad to hear I am not the only who thinks it is stress related though! All I can say is - me too on that count!

    Yeh, mine appeared first two weeks ago and spreading but I'm trying to not count the spots!! They're spreading like wildfire as we speak...Luckily only a few are itchy on my back BUT have been REALLY EXHAUSTED from it!!! Thought it was just me being generally run down and needing a holiday...I know good excuse :D !! PLUS have had mood swings from the anti histamine, flexaa something or the other, so I've stopped them after speaking to doctor , and going back to my regular hayfever anti histamines...

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

    Yesterday it took me all my time to wake up and drag myself out of bed, I told my husband I couldn't believe how exhausted I felt. (I'm normally an early bird, love to get things done in the morning etc). Then today I noticed spots and a rash, went to the doctors and was diagnosed with PR! It's not severe at the moment but from what I've read it looks like only the start! I feel like someone's zapped my energy - I normally have bags of it!
