Hi there,

I am 10 months post the VM attack.

I have recently been sunbathing, and it has taken me several days to recover, from an increase in my symptoms. I had to sleep alot more to get back on track.

Do your symptoms increase, because of sunbathing?

It has suddenly changed to become very hot and the sun rays mighty powerful. Am wondering if your sunbathing has given you a bit of sunstroke so combined with the after effects of the VM has increased the symptoms you are experiencing? Also make sure that you increase your fluid intake as will be needing more to make sure you are sufficiently hydrated.

Thankyou for your reply strawberry cream. It gets quite scary when the symptoms are bad. My brain struggles to find the words and digest what people are saying to you.It all becomes very tiring to think!

I hate this, its starting to get scary, but what can I do, apart from extra fluids and sleep. Will this ever end!!!!
