Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I'll be praying for you. and

don't feel guilty about work. They will handle it.. what's important

is to get you better.

Take care,

out for sure before I told anyone, but after loads and loads of

tests, today I have just been diagnosed with CFS - Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome. I also tested positive for Epstein-Barr virus

(mononucleosis), which the doctor thinks I have had for quite some

time, and that can lead to the CFS. I also tested high on my

thyroid - 6.77, and my cholesterol was a little high, and in addition

to that she told me I have a slight heart murmur. No big deal,

though. Our ttc will be put on hold for a few months to get me

feeling better, but the CFS is something she said I will more than

likely have forever. She looked at me and said " You are one sick

puppy, no wonder you feel so bad! But starting today, your life will

have to change. " I guess I will do just that! It may mean I will

just have to get used to being so tired all the time, but there are

drugs they will give me to try to keep it under control. She gave me

strict instructions to come home and go to bed and stay there for a

week! I talked to my boss and he understands, thank goodness,

because I still feel guilty as heck being home from work! Now, the

hard part will be keeping away from the kids!

ended up being CFS, because the other 2 out of 3 things they were

thinking it could be were Lupus and Diabetes. Thanks to all of you,

and I will not be going anywhere, still be here cheering all of you

ttc'ers on as well as the ladies waiting for their tr's!!
