YES.  That was one of my worst symptoms.  Somehow it overwhelmed my nervous system to stand upright, stand still and focus on someone talking to me, or focus on anything for that matter like trying to read labels in the grocery store.  I would have to steady myself with whatever was to hand, a piece of furniture, a countertop, a grocery cart.  But often I would just excuse myself and sit down.  I often felt like I would just collapse, but I never did.  That got a whole lot better over time and by month 6-12, this particular symptom wasn't so worrisome.  Hang in there, this too shall pass.

Yep, this is an ongoing issue for me. It's so incredibly weird.  For me it's not exhaustion.  Maybe dizziness, but don't think so.  Around month 6 it got much better, however I still don't feel comfortable sitting up at my desk/computer for too long.  I still feel best when I'm moving or lying down.  UGH.
