No, it isn't a misprint. It shouldn't read 'better days'

those elephants have been out in the night, must have slipped their ropes where the mods tied them up. :roll:

I can hardly move my legs, they have no strength in them and they ache so much. :cry:

My hands hurt and I cannot grip and I have smashed my favourite big mug. sad

Looking forward to better days anyway, I have a friend coming to stay next week and then I want to be well for my holiday in September.

Doesn't it get you down all this up and down, up and down.

One good thing is I received a letter from the local mental health people and I am at the top of the waiting list to finish my CBT that the ME/CFS clinic psychotherapist began brfore referring back to my home town. So that shouldn't be many more weeks. smile

    My problem is I work with children and young people :surfer:

    They'll just think I'm a stupid old bat :bat: and would probably tell me that too :lol:

    It won't be for another 4 weeks or so, by the time those who organise get their act together. smile

    Yes well you 2 sound as though you are being much more sensible than I was.

    I went straight back as I was before, making no allowances, and I continued cycling in and back every day. When I couldn't push the pedals round any more I started to drive in. After giving up the first time, as soon as I felt better I went back again but to a different funeral home where the hours were more flexible. I lasted there nearly 2 years, cutting my hours down more and more. I did not give in without a fight and that is why I cannot do it any more.

    Ladies, give it a go, but do not push yourselves beyond your limits and whatever you do, do not fight. It is an awfully long way back. sad

    Thanks for the advice, Alicia.smile

    I think I've learned my lesson though. I came off sick leave far too early due to agency staff letting the side down - and really didn't do myself any favours :cry:

    As you say, I shall 'test the waters' but if I detect any problems I will give it up as a bad job - literally!!

    Having said all that, I'm having second thoughts even now - I am in such pain this evening from the fibromyalgia that I don't know where to put myself.

    This weather doesn't help - summer is almost over and we've hardly had any ..... :wah:

    Time for bed! :zzz:
