I saw a commercial on television the other day for feline leukemia awareness week. Seriously. Let's see....when was the last time I saw an advertisement for ME/CFS Awareness Week? Like....never! And who, besides those who have ME/CFS, is aware there IS a ME/CFS Awareness Week?
Well, after...
....and the responses we restrain.
"GET SOME REST". This depends on your definition of "rest" and the timing of the comment.

how helpful it is to read what we...pwcs...write about how we cope with this illness. but there seems to be an extra measure of encouragement when a friend without me/cfs seeks to understand. i pray this psalm, written by my friend after reading my last blog entry, will bless and encourage you...

my computer was infected at least 3 years ago. i gave it to my i.t. son-in-law who returned it after 3 months completely cleaned out. i opted out of facebook...was careful about surfing the net...didn't let anyone else take control of it. but for all my carefulness...there it was again...a...
it seems so long inbetween times there is any real news about this hideous disease...i go long periods without checking on the current communication of the community.

God help me, i guess im just too concerned about what people think who dont really know me when one of the first things they learn is that i have what im afraid they may think is chronic laziness!! myalgic encephalomyelitis sounds so much more like a real, scientific...

If I'm going to lament and complain here...then I also need to express my gratitude to God. In the last week I have experienced great relief from pain and fatigue. I am grateful for the medications available, for a wise physician who realizes when they need to be changed, and for those who...
okay, there. i said it. my face is burning. my head is exploding. my feet are freezing. and everything in-between hurts.
it's not the first day i've felt this way. it certainly will not be the last.

sometimes i feel like my life is a living death... stuck between two worlds...the world of the living and the world of the extremely ill. i am grateful there are "good" days, i.e., when i can go out and be with friends or spend time with family, even take care of a grandchild. then there are...
I am so incredibly grateful for my physician. She is an internist and not a CFS specialist, according to her thinking, anyway. But I have found that everything she has recommended and prescribed has turned out to be along the lines with CFS "experts". She is protectively cautious, yet always...
My favorite place to be is in my pool...which is where I feel the best! It's the best place to visit with a friend or read a book. There I exercise by swimming and stretching without stress on my body. It cools down my furnace body. And best of all, it provides alone time for thinking and...
