Also known an ME or CFIDS. I've got it and it's bad right now. I'm angry, because I've allowed this to happen. (the relapse I mean, not the original illness). I guess after a long time of it not being so bad, I forgot what it was like. So I stopped taking care of myself. My diet, supplements, meds, sleep habits, emotional health, and sobriety. I let them all slip away because I forgot just how miserable this feeling is. My (related?) ulcerative colitis is back too. I'm just in a daze these days. I have sweats and fevers.
I know the only thing to do is - one day at a time, drink the protein shake. take a short walk. eat small meals. stay hydrated. cut back on the diet coke and beer. regular bed time. It could be days or months. Sometimes I just can't believe it. I can't believe how many years I've had this, I can't believe it will just come back when I'm not paying attention.
I'm going to go suck on a B12 now.
