I’m suffering what the OP’er suffered and wanted some feedback/ info.  
Composed. Checked it. Hit Reply.

Nothing. Never posted.

Quite sad. Any ideas?

I’m a 99’er, well aware that any medical anecdotal stories are in no way constituting medical advice, etc. etc. On Friday around 1pm I sat down on the living room floor.

Have a great day,
