So Tired
No posts for a while, even though there's been lots of interesting news; very few comments made; and I haven't even got the energy for a 'ramble'. Why? Because I did three 6-hour working days on the trot a fortnight or so back. That's six, not sixteen, nor twenty-six!
Most of the time I'm fairly laid-back about my CFS: it's a nuisance, but let's face it, loads of people have much worse. And, if I'm honest, it was my own fault - I could 'feel the burn', as it were, and there was always going to be a price to pay. The trouble is, I used to enjoy working long hours, back when I could, and there was a job needed finishing, and I didn't really see the harm.
I had half an evening at Readifolk tonight: the singer, Derek Gifford, was good, and hearing the bowed psaltery is quite an experience, but I was falling asleep so I came home at the interval. Maybe I'm just getting old!
It's strange because I don't get any symptoms of CFS at all anymore. I was
diagnosed as having Fibromyalgia and this is a lifelong thing whereas
ME/CFS can go into complete remission and as the symptoms are quite
similar, my GP feels this is what I most likely had because, as I've
mentioned, I don't feel ill with it anymore.
I find as time passes my interests seem to change. Old has too many
negative connotations I just can't get into. So I speak of it as time
passing.
Hi Jonathan, I'm glad your symptoms have cleared. FM and CFS always seemed
to me to be positions along a continuum anyway, but, as you say, the FM end
is generally considered longer lasting.
