So as if suffering with anxiety wasn't enough......
A few weeks after my initial panic attack, more symptoms started showing up. I became extremely fatigued. When I say extremely fatigued, I'm saying I imagine it is close to how one would feel if they were walking through a dessert for 2 days on little water. I had a hard time walking to my bathroom. I would sleep 10-12 hours and wake up feeling like I needed more sleep. Taking a shower became nearly impossible. I felt as though I was going to faint the entire time. I wondered what was happening to my body, but I was so exhausted that although death crossed my mind, I didn't care. If this is how one is prepared for death, it works. I felt ready to die. This lasted a couple of weeks before my energy SLOWLY started to creep up to half of that of a healthy individual. Once I had a little bit of energy back, I felt I could somewhat function. I would force myself to go for short walks outdoors. I worked myself up to a point where I could run, but nothing about running felt right. I forced myself to do so thinking that I could run myself back to better health and more energy. I changed my diet thinking that would help me feel normal again. Nothing worked.
This is one of the million symptoms that lyme can cause.
