chronic illness sucks.

Chronic illness sucks.

Lately, chronic illness sucks even more, because I have another one.

The many medical professionals in my life are not certain what, precisely, it is, which seems to be the story of my life.

Current thinking pegs it as post viral fatigue syndrome, possibly fibromyalgia.

I'm even more exhausted than usual, I'm in pain, and my thinking is fuzzy.  :-(  I could deal with all of it, except the fuzzy brain.  I need my brain, it's about the only thing I have left that actually works.

After a few weeks of working part time, I gave in and went out on temporary disability.   Working even a couple of hours a day is tiring.

Hell, washing my hair is tiring.

Oh, muffin. *sigh* Clearly you need to move here so I can help take care of you. You know, by giving you cheese and wine.

Brought Nevada in yesterday. Possibly lymphoma.

Life.

*hugs* Get some rest. I hope they figure out what it is soon.

Hey, you.

(((hugs)))

I'm married to a guy who's on permanent disability now, but it took him a long few stubborn years to get here. Take care of yourself. You deserve it.

Suffering from the attention of Medical Professionals myself, I have great empathy for you.

Also with the fibro. Exhaustion, pain, fuzzy-mindedness all sound like fibro. Fibro sucks major turnips. It's been the monkey on my back since 1991.

Sister, I hear you, and I'm in the same sinking boat. *non-physical hugs*

*hugs* Sweetie, I'm so sorry that you're sick. It sounds really debilitating. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you!
