Following a particularly stressful few years at work during which time I had been prescribed both Prozac and Xanax, I had what was probably the trigger event of my CFIDS - shingles. Understand this is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy - hopefully, neither would you or you're a sick you-know-what. It is possible that stopping the Prozac triggered the CFIDS outbreak as my symptoms started almost immediately upon stopping the SSRI - which of course, changes the amounts of Seratonin in the brain, which some research points to as a possible trigger or even marker for the disease. More than likely it was the viral outbreak of shingles shortly before this though. Life was moving into a whole new league. My parents passed the lifeview on to me that you'd better enjoy yourself while you were young because sooner of later life was going to pick you up and beat you senseless, and that seemed to be starting to happen.
The questions, the anger, the lack of understanding - WHY, GOD? I was 44.
