Symptoms - Partial list

      Here is a partial list of symptoms.  All my symptoms happen at once, at the same time.

       I am continuing to look through my scattered notes and logs. I haven't figured out a good way to make this list and provide a space for updates and improvements. I would like to track my symptoms and give updates formatted in a way that's easy on the eyes and easy to make updates to. If anyone has any suggestions, please drop me a note.
