I never had a raspy voice but your system, your metabolism gets weakened to the point where even things like speaking, you know, if I speak for any length of time then – you know imagine speaking being a debilitating thing, a tiring thing and then you have to go and lie down and have a nap … The latest one is this kind of tingling and sometimes pain, it can be painful in my legs typically from the knees down to the feet, right to the end of the toes. And now and occasionally even from as high up as mid-calf … And I can’t really tell whether it’s the nerves that are not feeling right or whether it’s in vessels, like blood vessels, or there are some days where it feels like it’s somehow like a core pain inside the bone … Oh and then the other scariest I guess, and that has not come back for over a month now, but vertigo and frightening vertigo. Like I thought I couldn’t – I thought if I would move even an inch that I was going to go into some huge grand mal seizure. You know you’re on – and I had epilepsy as a child and so I know what that feeling is, and when you’re right on the edge I thought, “oh no”, I haven’t experienced this horror because it is, it’s a horror … And brain fog which is a whole, you know, that kind of describes confusion and uh … And so anyway it’s a complex kind of issue that I haven’t properly defined but it encompasses quite a few things. Then the lack of smell and taste, and I think my – now a newer kind of thing is my hearing seems to be diminished.
