hypersensitivity to heat
hyper-senitivity to sound
dryness in mouth
chronic fatigue
sleep disorders
bowel disorders

Thank you, Keith Sereduck . I am so sorry you -- or anyone -- has to go through all of that. We so appreciate you sharing your knowledge here with us.

Chronic illnesses such as this are not for the weak at heart. I’m always amazed at the level of strength sufferers who live with such an invidious illness. They certainly have my sympathy. Thank you so much for shining some light on this. I think this stands true with other illnesses and disorders ( I call them conditions) as well. If you’re not bedridden or curled up under a table people don’t give credence that you are compromised and sometimes need special help or consideration.
