Onset

   Looking back several years , I think I had signs of a problem. As far back as four years prior to my symptoms I felt as if I wasn’t up to par, however, I attributed this lack of energy to age and weight. In the summer of 2003 I did a lot of hiking and definitely felt I was tiring to quickly. I routinely commented to my wife that I didn’t think my eyes looked right, she would always respond by saying, they look tired. Since I wasn’t sleeping well I thought maybe it was lack of sleep.

   I mentioned my former place of employment as emphasis that being in an unhealthy environment can contribute to a lowered immune system

    He patted me on the hand and said, “we all get lumps on our arm after 40”. At this point I am under the influence of a hypnotic drug and in looking back, surely I must have been in the Twilight Zone.

 

    As I look back and wonder why all these doctors reacted as they did to my complaints I can understand
