Weakness/stamina/strength... neck arms legs...

i have got to the point now where i just don't do what my body/arms/hands etc lets me but i was sitting thinking whilst at work and trying to keep a happy mind even though my arms were giving in that wether their are people that suffer from this to... ???

The no energy, the not being able to do something consistently with my hands/wrists/etc not being able to raise my arms to do stuff because they just go on me or once I’ve cooked tea then I can’t even pick my fork up to eat it as my arms go...

and also wether people do the same as me and just struggle/manage/do what they can?

or is there actually something that can be done?....

do people take painkillers at specific times or regularly?

Do people take something herbal for there joints/muscles or pain?

If so does any of it work/allow you to do more?

Also Should we even be taking something?....

if it does work should we mask it?

Is it not gonna work when we stop?

Is it not unhealthy to constantly take medicine

(if it works) just to try and do stuff/normal things?

Has anyone seen a chinese medical doctor?

Or been referred for it?

I have tried physio but I don’t see/feel a difference :/

Thanks for your time

I hope someone can help/relate?

I can relate to everything you mention. I had bacterial meningitis about 4 months ago. David here from Memphis Tennessee. Leave me yout address and I can respond. I feel fn crazy. No one understands unless you go through it. I have yet to find anyone who can help me and understand so I'm taking a road trip or plane one of the 4 places in the USA of people who specialize in this I hope. Or take a trip to some other country like united kingdom.

Hi there

I can agree on that

People expect you to do everything because you “look” ok and unless they’ve gone through the same thing they can’t understand!

If you click on my name and click the little green speech bubble you can send me conversations/answers/help on there if thats how you feel better

Let me know if you get anywhere with it all!

I've taking everything under the son. One year later and I still have everything wrong. But less intense. The sleep and nerve pain and memory and energy are probably my biggest issues I'm trying to concentrate on. I take kratom, Subutex, Adderall, tramodol, trazodone,neurontin,weed,and every supplement known to man. My veins are smaller now so I'm trying to dialate them with various things. Oh I forgot I take acid and magic mushrooms in microdosing increments every third day. I have Ayahuasca to and will use it soon. Hope to stop smoking weed soon. I used to drink 24 beers a day the first 4 months. I never smoked weed or drank before meningitis. It was either that or blow my brains out. Bacterial meningitis wreaks havoc on every part of the body. I got blood clots and will start nattokinase tomorrow with fish oil.
