No, just fatigue, short of breath, irregular sleep.
And now my normal spring allergies…

I don’t feel great either, but started chair yoga and gentle Pilates - nothing which raises my heart rate.

Maybe next week we’ll both feel better!

Hi, I take Hu every second day and aspirin 2x a day. I suffer with headaches and dizziness, head pressure, vision issues. For my headaches I am now taking medical Cannabis and it works really well. I haven't had any ibuprofen or pain meds since May when I started this. Its low THC so you dont get high but it targets the pain receptors in your body. It works so fast and no pain, I cant begin to say how much this has helped me. I asked for it because I felt i had enough toxins in my body and no pain meds were touching my headaches. This was like a miracle for me. My dizziness is excessive, sometimes it is combined with so much head pressure I cant do anything. I just saw a neurologist and she is thinking it could be inter-cranial hypertension. So I am trying out a medication that if it is that, I should know in a day or two. Its a sad thing when you actually hope you found a solution and are willing to take a pill just to feel better instead of thinking maybe you can get rid of it. I feel for you. Dizziness is an awful think to have. Take care.

Are you having phlebotomies? If so, you may be Anemic.
I was and also had high uric acid. It was causing me pain, sleeplessness, brain fog, and extreme fatigue. Now that I am taking an iron supplement, these symptoms are all abating.
