CFS & ME

[Guest guest]

Having been diagnosed 18 yrs ago with fibro and chronic fatigue,

this has been the most difficult summer and past winter.

The past winter, I couldn't walk through my house bc the air was so cold

it made my legs feel so heavy and hurt so much. Everything ached to the bone,

all I could do was curl up and stay put.

This summer, I hit rock bottom. Our medical mail service lost my perscription,

it was a huge mix up and it took from Mar.

to June to finally have my meds arrive.

In the meantime,

all I could do was fix brkfst for husband and go back to bed.

I couldn't bathe, wash clothes, go to the store,

I felt like I was paralyzed. It was horrible.

I had no hope, no will, no faith, I got to the point where I just

wanted to end it all and I have 3 grown children

but all they know is that I'm sick and

have no idea what's going on inside me, neither do I.

Sept 30th I see a rhumetologist, at my last gp drs visit,

I layed my head down on his desk and said I'm so tired

of feeling sick, weak,

tired and can't do anything about it. Please help me.

What I'd like to know from fellow members here is

" how does chronic fatigue affect your day? "

" what does it feel like in your body? "

" Have you ever gotten to the point of giving up? " , ending it?

I had no hope, no will, no faith.

without my medications, I'm totally incapacitated

Thanks for listening and I wait to hear from fellow members.

Sincerely, Fluffy
