Hi Everyone!
I usually keep all this to myself, but I'm overwhelmed and need your prayers and thoughts.
Over the past 15 years I've battled with Fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue syndrome. I have tried many things....some worked and some were a waste of time and money. It's hard for people around you to understand, as one day you may be on top of the world and the next three days or more you can't move from the bed to the bathroom. It is sometimes even harder to get a physician to believe you. Fortunately I have had some good Doctors.
Fibromyalgia is a burning painful feeling in your muscles. This makes it hard to pickup things and to move your limbs without a lot of pain. CFS is debillitating and the most frustrating! Usually comes with a cough you can't seem to get rid of, intense fatigue, low grade fever, need for sleep, sleep, sleep. BUT also includes insomnia....that's the double edge sword about CFS.
So it you don't see me very much at the Cafe you'll know I'm at home wishing I could greet you. I hate this because I love working at night ans seeing all my SoWal friends. I don't really want to change to lunch, but we'll see. My Doctor says I need to stop at 5:00 p.m. and start my evening of rest. Okay everyone who knows how hard it is to stop at 5:00 in the afternoon raise your hand. I thought so!!!!
I you all!
