Hi oleblue
I too get really bad fatigue, but I would have to say my eyes, since I was dx 2008 the aquired nystagmus drives me crazy somedays,my world moves almost all the time which makes me sea sick!!!! my balance is off so I tend to look drunk often..lol...and I am really not :)
I use a elbow crutch to stableize myself...
have a good day all

Residual damage to my feet after my first attack. Ergh...I live with it daily, sometimes I feel like the little mermaid when she got legs.

Fatigue stops me in my tracks! Mental as well as physical fatigue hits me and I'm worthless. This is when I feel like a big blob of flesh!

The sharp shooting pain of a headache is the worst for me. It makes want to cry and I hate the feeling of it. A normal headache I can deal with but this here is awful.

Right now I will have to go with fatigue. When it hits me, I can not do anything. I drag all day long.

Constant vertigo gets my vote then fatigue.

Definitely fatigue for me.

pain!!!!!!.....then the double vision...its so bad and blurred..so yea,my eyes make me nuts!!!!!

Well Dave,
I would have to say the most frustrating symptoms I have had is my legs not working. I have pain, I have fatigue, I have vertigo, and it is hard to deal with those things, but when I can only take and drag my legs for a few feet that is the worst. It is hard to take care of your kids when you can't even get yourself to the bathroom. Then I would say the next one would be those days that I can not think of the words I want to say and I feel like my mind is just gone! I have days where I can not think of 80 to 90 percent of the words I want to say and I can not remember how to do the simple things.

I wish everyone the best!

I would have to say, trigeminal neurola. When the pain starts, it is sooo bad it makes me cry.

OMG........ cognitive issues.... especially when I have done something EXTREMELY out of character for me, and don't remember it. So embarrassing! It was probably due to a drug reaction, but still happens every once in awhile even off the drugs.

Thanks for the terrific thread on positivity and optimism here Dave.......... how about we twist this around, and NOW tell us something positive that has come from having this crappy disease.......

For me, it would be learning how much my family and friends care about me, especially my friends on here. I had NO IDEA how much love and support there is out there. And not only do I appreciate receiving the support, but giving it is just as high up there for me..........

I would have to second that Amy as it is hard to see anything positive. I have learned to yo give my support to other people who need it more than me but seem to be slipping on that one

For me it is 50/50. The fatigue and pain. My husband doesnt understand at all. I have given up trying to explain how I feel. I don't think I even remember what it feels like to actually feel good anymore.

fatigue and pain

For me, it's the fatigue and not being able to talk. I hate slurring and losing my ability to talk for seconds at a time. It's frustrating since I have to answer the phone all day at work.
