Muscle Spasms andTremors
: Spasms, fasciculation (worm-like or “crawling” muscles), cramping, myoclonus (brief jerking movements, especially at night), tremors and other neurological symptoms are actually fairly common in CFS/ME/FM. Muscular phenomena (spasms, fasciculation, and cramping) are usually due to reflexive muscle problems. That is, CFS/ME and FM cause muscle to tighten up, but high levels of tension can […]
Is CFS/ME An Immune Disorder?
"...the answer is “yes, and no.” Autoimmunity is certainly part of the CFS/ME/FM conundrum, but the disorder also affects the central nervous system, endocrine system, the muscles, and other areas. Some of the first abnormalities noted in PWCs were immunological in origin, namely an increased incidence of autoantibodies, low immunoglobulins, poor NK cell activity, activated […]
Does “Brain Fog” Ever Go Away?
"As with most CFS symptoms, cognitive dysfunction waxes and wanes. One report suggests that IQ falls during a flare of cognitive dysfunction, and our personal experience is that memory, attention, processing speed, and other parameters also decline during a flare or relapse. The good news is that cognition improves as one recovers from CFS, and […]
