CFS & Cramp Fasciculation: Unexpected?

[SparkleKid]

I went to Duke for a followup on Monday. I complained about my midsection and how I get that feeling of heaviness that is only relieved by lying down. Dr. said it was part of cramp fasciculation thing I have. I haven't heard too many people with CFS complain about this so I was a little surprised. He gave me a prescription for Tegretol. It's weird cause I can jog and walk all day, but the second I stand still that heavy feeling comes back. Still find it hard to believe this is CFS. I feel like there is weakness somewhere in my midsection.

How long have you had that feeling? Maybe it will go away. I have had things I worried about that took months to go away and then I just sort of forgot about them. The body does some strange, stupid, non-deadly stuff sometimes MD

It's been going on since May. It's something fairly constant, but it is much worse after I exert myself. Don't know what it is. Maybe muscle stiffness. The Tegretol makes it a little better.

That really sucks. Maybe someone else would like to comment on it. I have never had anything like that, although I have had some strange and painful stuff go on.
