Have CFS with new onset of sorethroat ,muscle and joint pain.Is this likely to persist.

Hi hopeful,

 well, as these symptoms are new for you, it may just be that you have overdone it more than you think starting back at work, or you have a virus or something. I think you will just have to wait and see...

 I have not had the recurrent sore throats that many with CFS do have, although my lymph nodes in my neck are usually swollen and painful. I do have a lot of muscular pain and have had throughout my illness, As well as pain in upper back and shoulders, neck, jaw joint, which i am unsure if it is joint or muscle pain. Many people with CFS (or ME as i prefer to call it, as i am in the UK) have a lot of problems with their muscles. Mine tire very easily and lose power quickly when doing a repetetive movement, and they often ache. Some, like my thighs and upper back muscles seem constantly tired, painful and weak, as they are usually at work i suppose, although others are less affected, like arms.

 i hope that these symptoms ease for you but i would take it as a warning that you may be overdoing it and rest as much as possible, if you did not have these problems before. It may be that at work you are moving differently than you were before and therefore your muscles are readjusting?

best wishes anyway,

ashy

Understand your frustration about lack of responses,this was my first experince using the internet in this way to communicate,and for the 1st wk no one responded,no one excepted as friends and then I posted something like you did as to why is no one responding and then I was blessed with a couple kind people who reached out to me.I can get you info on neuropathy,why do you have neuropathy? are you a diabetic,that what I see most frequntly in healthcare,?"ular" is that by chance ulnar(wrist area).Let me know and I will get back to you, may be a couple days,we usually have Sunday guests after church.Don't give up!!!
