==CFS symptoms == Strazza's neurological symptoms include severe [[photophobia]], [[noise sensitivity]], and [[allodynia]] and lives in almost total darkness, with [[noise canceling headphones]] and a minimum of touch to avoid increasing his waves of severe [[chronic pain]]. His noise intolerance has forced him to give up playing music.<ref name="EBV2022" /><ref name="QA2022" /> He has profound and debilitating [[fatigue]] and his limbs are too heavy to lift.<ref name="kicked2022" /> {{Quote|text=I had a friend who became severe and he told me "James,ย this is the worst day of my life, and I can still get up to use the bathroom and use a wheelchair, how do you do it?" It puts you in a position where you feel like [[suicide]] is the only way out. Every day is the worst day of your life, and the scary part is it can always get worse.<ref name="QA2022"/> | author = James Strazza}} Galen Warden, Strazza's mother and full-time carer states: <blockquote>"It's like a frog being dropped in cold water and then you gradually raise the heat. At first these things didn't raise huge alarm," said Warden, 64. "There was nothing out there that talks about this, so we didn't have a reference of any kind. We kept telling him shake it off. You can do it. [[Exercise]] more." - Galen Warden<ref name="QA2022" /></blockquote>
