Sick and Tired

I am in hell. I am so exhausted I can't function. I slept until three this afternoon. I am dizzy and I can't think. I need to work but I can't focus on the homework I need to grade. My body is on fire with pain. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Butterfly girl,
I don't know what to say. I can't think of anything that will make it better and so I feel useless even writing this. But I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. It's 4:20 am and I am at work trying to stay awake and then I read your blog and ....I'm sad but awake for sure now.

As a 25 year survivor, single Mom for 15 of those, I feel for you.
Without faith and hope in the Lord, I would not be here...sometimes hanging on by a thread...you know what I mean, don't you. My greatest joys in this life have been my children and two granbabies.
I hope, as you do, for a cure for these neuro immunological (CNS) diseases...until then we WILL remain strong in spririt. It is a comfort to 'talk' with someone who is 'walking in your shoes'...
Blessings to you and yours.

To all of those suffering, I too am a sufferer, only older then you so I no longer have many 'hopes" as working is not even an issue. I am totally disabled, and my days are very much the same as all of yours. I have sleep problems, and other times, I sleep for 3 days. I fall all over the place, I have "potty issues" that make me afraid to get out too far. I still look healthy, so noone can KNOW how sick I really am.
I don't have an "understanding" hubby, so I sort of say HI and BYE and cya later, as he passes by me. I feel like I am already dead. Just ain't been buried yet. lol
BUT.....I have never lost my sense of humor thank GOD. I laugh big, I adore my kitties, and I just use my philosophy in life: What IS IS!! DEAL with it!!! So that is what I DO. I even believe that there MUST be a reason for so many folks getting this illness. There just HAS to be since we have to believe in a benign "creator", and I DO!!!!!!
One pc. of advice from a very longterm Cfider.....when you are tired.....LAY DOWN and SLEEP!!!! No matter how many days it takes. When you FEEL rested, then take work slow and take rest periods in between. I did that for years when I was still working. I would end up with horrible migraines and be taking care of pts. who were more healthy then me. lol
The nature of this beast is: It can hit at anytime, anywhere. Always be prepared. (Especially away from home.) Bring extra warm clothing, comfy shoes, eat healthy, SING when you are happy, and LAUGH OFTEN!!!! Or as C.S. Lewis said: "Laugh with righteousness, and dance like a dervish." lol. "Shadowlands" starring Anthony Hopkins. LORD he did a great job in that movie. The book is called, "The Problem with Pain" where C.S. Lewis questions HOW a benign GOD could allow a man to meet a woman so late in life, fall madly in love and then have to watch her die. It sounds pathetically sad, but it is a wonderful book OR movie. I happen to adore Anthony H.
Hugs to all***Hang on ==""==""==
with all your might. I look for a CURE. Gail who is wearing a black witch wig in my photo. I actually have green eyes and long blonde hair. lol
