Exhausted and blurry again. Feel like my brain has cataracts. Lymph nodes are painful and swollen and I have a fever so might just be regular person illness crashing against chronic fatigue. Need to order groceries since I can't go to the store. This feels a little bit scary actually have not had fatigue with "flulike symptoms" for awhile, or that lactic-acid-sour, petrified-wood-sensation thing where my muscles Won't Move when I tell them to because they're preemptively spent, as though I have already done intensive aerobic exercise. I can't lift my arms!

#I keep trying to explain the muscle exhaustion thing to PT and neurologist and regular doctor #It feels like the 'lactic acid burn' after exercise! When your muscles. Burn. From exertion #And you feel weak and wobbly and can't support your own weight anymore #But you haven't exercised at all #Your body just Does That #And it really does Burn it feels acidic #I know it's related to metabolic acidosis but I don't know how or why or how to stop it
