Haven't been here in a looong time, because I was feeling well. And of course, now I have relapsed. The problem is with what?

My POTS came back, after being away for over 2 years. My thigh muscles really ache and feel weak-my feet throb but not in the morning-notice it all day-anyone have this with babs?

Of course I have fatigue, catch myself breathing hard. Right now I am on malarone/zith, feeling awful, but scared it's bart coming back, and I'm treating the wrong thing. Losing faith in my LLMD. When I finished treatment, I mentioned my thighs were still weak, and had occasional "foot twinges" but he ignored them, so I did to.

So down today-what are your babs symptoms?

Hi beths, isn't it just the worst pain ever? I describe it being as if someone is scraping the muscles off of my bones with a rusty, dull carving knife (but it lasts somuch longer than that would take !). I have that 'air hunger', too, especially when going up even just a few steps, and my feet hurt, too. The pain in my feet is intermittent and I have never noticed what time of day it happens.
Do you ever use a heating pad on your other muscle pain? The thigh pain I guess you mentioned. The heating pad helps reduce the pain for me as long as it stays on and in the right spot. Maybe heat distracts some part of my brain; as soon as the heating pad comes off, the pain is right back where it was at first.
Don't give up on your dr. I hope you are better today. Feel better soon!
