Thats how my symptoms started back in 1980 after a viral infection which, according to my reaserch was probably a Mono or EBV infection or something very like them.I dont even mention it to the pdocs anymore.
They give me the facial impressions that I am somehow making it all up or am somehow mistaken as to my mental state before becoming sick.
Gotta luv all those wonderful, helpful Pdocs we should be worshipping.....NOT!
