Welcome Biscotaki!
I am sorry to hear your in such distress. I too am new to this site and it is helpful to realize that what you are feeling is real. Others have and are feeling similar things. It is also reassuring to know that there is a cause to it...and that our bodies and brains will heal. I struggle some days more than others, it is a challenge. I also developed a blood pressure problems and a host of other symptoms.
To cope I stay away from anything that seems to stimulate my nervous system...and incorporate things that are soothing to it.
I hope you find some relief. I have found that it seems to run it's course however regular sleep and eating well make a huge difference if you are able to manage that.
Hang in there!
Joy
