I was starting to get better

I was sick for a little over a year. And was slowly getting better. Lifting weights up to 40 reps a day. Still can't do my legs though. Then I needed minor surgery. I lost months of recovery. My orthostatic issues are back in full force. I can't even left my weights more than 10 reps. My legs quiver going up the stairs. My sleep is messed up. It's gotten so bad we are going to sell our house and get a ranch style so I don't have to go up and down the stairs.

So frustrating.

Sorry you have a set back. Are your electrolyte levels back to normal?

Has an Immunologist checked you for viruses or low gamma globulin?
