cfids
I was doing some reading. During my last nap, I was laying there wondering if I should even bother doing research on this. I am scared to think about the results. And as I visited CFIDS (thanks to some great links from a sweet friend), I read a paragraph that really illustrated my worries: "Feelings of guilt, helplessness, confusion, dependence, anger, sadness, and worthlessness are common for the PWC. After a few weeks or months, friends and family may feel resentful, employers are impatient, and health care providers are beginning to think that the PWC is avoiding life stressors, is probably depressed, and perhaps is a hypochondriac."
But I fit many of these classifications right now.
I wish I could tell how much of it is just side effects of my depression, anxiety, and pills for that - and how much of it is something new.
But I know its not normal to be this worn out after 5 hours of walking. I’ve taken 2 naps this morning. And barely been able to move between.
Why do I have a feeling that people are gonna get tired of hearing me talk about this? I apologize in advance, because I know I’ll be posting links and findings about this because this is my place to come back to when I need the info.
Back to your regularly scheduled babblings

Amy, I’m just starting to evaluate if this could be something I have - I haven’t been diagnosed yet or anything, but I’m researching so that when I go in for a checkup next time, I’ll have some research and questions to ask my dr - It can’t hurt to be knowledgable, I think.

I just have to tell you that I won’t get tired of you talking about it! I think it’s good to try and explore options of what might be wrong with our bodies and minds and whatnot if things aren’t right. The important thing is for you to take care of yourself, okay? *hugs*
