Last Thursday I went to the U and did two hours of work.
Friday I went in for 1 1/2 hours to listen to a talk.
This is always (for no reason I can figure) my worst time of year.
While in the fall this might have been manageable, I guess I should have known better.
Saturday I crashed
Sunday I felt worse
Monday I was sicker
Tuesday I was sicker than that
Today I'm even worse and I've been thinking "doctor?" "hospital?". But it's just M.E. and I know there's nothing they can do. I can't believe how sick and weak I am.
Oh, I am so sorry, upnorth. ME/CFS can be so unforgivable. Lifting you up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteYou always need to get checked out. I personally know of a woman who lost her daughter to pneumonia because it was put down to her fibromyalgia. Sorry to be scaremongering but if your guts are telling you to see a doctor then do so. Let us know how you are feeling soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi, I read your blog but haven't responded before. So sorry to hear that your are feeling so ill. I know a lot about that weakness. Like you I create other worlds in my life but the fatigue sometimes is the only world I live in and the hours and minutes drag by so slowly. Wishing you a better day tomorrow. Sincerely, Leah
ReplyDeleteRenee, thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteJo - I have never had success with getting help during severe and acute episodes. While I know someting "real" is going on, whatever it is doesn't seem to be something they can find except occationally low neutrophils which they just wait on anyways. I appreaciate your concern, though....maybe someday there will be help during times like this....I really hope so.
Leah, thanks for stopping by. It helps to know I'm not alone when I'm suffering like this. Time is dragging for sure...every minute is a challenge and something to endure.
"it's just ME". yeah I know the feeling... we can only hope that attitudes will change soon, and that science figures it out.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that these two things have caused such a severe reaction. I hope the minutes pass more quickly and get easier VERY soon, it is torture...
ReplyDeleteWow. If you're thinking doctor or hospital maybe you should trust your gut. I had a really bad flare years ago and decided to go to the doctor even though I thought it was just my deal, but worse. Begrudgingly I thought- what a waste of my time getting checked out, but I'm glad I did. Turned out I had pneumonia and pleurisy.
ReplyDeleteBe careful and feel better soon!
