Some of the discussions lately on living in isolation has made me start thinking again about what we all were like before CFS.

Click to expand...

for me the problem is always what was onset? Since I was mild for decades.

And now I am not.

But I used to be the life of a Good Party. But that changed.

(I remember going to a concert, about 10 years ago, standing up against the wall, bobbing to the rock and roll and coming home at 1 am. I was sick for a week..that was PEM before the worsening. I made note I can't stay up this late and be out like this. )

Now there would be no such standing around bobbing.
