Everyone, please: Symptoms Questionnaire :)

Comments:

Still reallying trying to get used to it, my body doesn't seem to want to recover at te moment, as I get over one symptom and then the following week I have another.

Judging from some of the questions, I seem to get away with it quite lightly, of course to me it doesn't feel that way.
