Before I got diagnosed with this illness I used to jog walk as morning exercise now I can barely walk it's really frustrating that I can't do the things I once did before it causes me to get in my emotions where I cry this is so hard for me.

It's been so hard these past couple weeks, last week I was moving something lift it and my back snapped. Its getting better now thank God. Then the heat, I though I was ok because after been diagnosed last winter I realized I had cold sensitivity so I was hoping the summer wouldn't be a problem. Now the heat is here and I'm STRUGGLING. I feel heavy, like I'm walking through wet cement or sand. They say exercise helps with fatigue and we need the sun for vitamin D. I'm so tired...I feel like just crying, I really dont know what to do to help with these feeling. This disease sucks real bad, I'm so tired. What are some things you guys do to help with the fatigue.

Heart palpitations

Every time I do a workout or an intens activity, I experience heart palpitations during or after the exercise. It feels like the neurological signals to my heart are coming through properly, especialy when I'm tired or fatigued. Is there someone else who has the time?

I think I spend a lot of time in denial with slight cognitive problems.
