Hi Wander, Gosh I can't imagine having to go through full blown manic episodes! I am sorry you've gone through a mixed episode! I recently had a short spell of a mixed episode and really couldn't cope with it! I hope Ur not too wiped! Be kind to yourself and get plenty of rest! ( Yeah like we have a choice!) No I am not under a specialist for CFS but I have made some progress as I too used to be bed ridden. It is fantastic that u can exercise 3 times a week!!! I can barely do anything! Thx so much for sharing your experience!
