Has the forum got M.E again ??

Posted , 52 users are following.

I found your article quite helpful.

I just recently had a diagnosis of CFS and did not believe or understand what it was about. It is good to know in your article that may there be some options and support to improve this condition. It is also helpful to know there are books or organisations that may be good for me during this period. I have found that doing a little bit of excercise make me tired but helps me to avoid depression or feeling part of the community.

    Hello :D

    For the first time for a fortnight I've actually been out of my village :bus:

    I only went into the next little town but it was so good to get out. :boing:

    I'm now trying to do positive thinking on my legs as they are definitely letting me know that it was too much for them - better go and have a lie on my bed I think :roll:

    I'm sure Katie, that each day you'll feel a little better now that you can pace yourself but oh, doesn't this :bleep: illness drive you crazy ? :steam:

    Sure does Daisy. I had such a lovely 3 days - cinema, granddaughter, family to lunch, more family last night for dinner, snowy walks with MD. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

    I was not surprised this morning to not be able to move much. I was still in my dressing gown at lunch time when I had to get dressed to go to the GP surgery, but no shower, just a lick of baby wipes and deodorant stick.

    Hubby and daughter walked MD, who insisted on telling me he hadn't been out. Because I didn't take him he thought he hadn't been :roll:

    Terrible tummy troubles and achy legs, weariness, irriability and confusion. My AAA batteries are definitely run down flat and need to be plugged in.

    Still, I had a good time and I don't care. It boosted my morale for now.

    I wish it could always be like that. Perhaps one day it will be but probably not, after all this time. sad

    It is so much easier to be grumpy, than having to make the effort to be upbeat and getting worn out by it. :roll:

    I have decided I want to live on a narrowboat, just me and MD and no one to expect anything of me. :D

    Oh it makes you sick doesn't it sad ; hang on to the memory of the lovely 3 days you've had :D

    I haven't heard from the benefits people after my medical yet - it was almost 3 weeks ago :shock:

    If they try to tell me I should be working...... :steam: whoops, sorry, I thought I was on the GOW thread for a minute there :lol:

    What, and then hope that the likes of Ken Barlow will just happen to drop by, Alicia :lol:

    Dale, the forum wouldn't be the same without your 'double act' :D

    Oh that must be a worry Daisy ..... do hope that it all goes in your favour :?

    Yes, I haven't felt as unwell as this for ages ..... suppose it was fairly predictable but I feel very low at the moment ...... and just so frustrated that I can't do what I want to do .... but then we all know that one don't we :roll:

    And everywhere you turn there are fitness ads or programmes. Did anyone watch 'Supersize and Skinny' or something like that, last night. It featured a spinning class with an instructor ..... and that instructor [b:357db3f303]used [/b:357db3f303]to be me :wah:

    It's quite an entertaining programme actually, though why they had the big girl eating such a daft diet of just chocolate, I don't know :roll:

    Oh, we've now got an ad for 'Animated Angry Faces' .... that's more like it :evil:

    Didn't her last baby weigh about l2lbs plus :shock:

    Goodness knows what this one will be ......no wonder she spent most of the last programme sitting down sad

    Katie, you are always there offering encouragement and empathy. It makes me sad to think you are now struggling along.

    Now it is your turn to be ministered to. Just sit quiet and let us do the ministering in whatever bumbling, ham fisted way we can. xxx

    Alicia is quite right Katie, it is our turn to look after you :nurse: :hug:

    For starters I am sending you a big bag of Giant choccy buttons and a jar of Horlicks :choc: :coffee:

    Enjoy :lol:

    Yes, Katie, I quite agree with Kristal and Alicia......... :D

    I'm sending you a nice glass of :bubbly: because you are celebrating that you've done [b:6d0d485d8f]so[/b:6d0d485d8f] well to sort your mother out and move her ,

    then there's a nice cup of tea and a cupcake :tea: :cupcake:

    so you can put your feet up and relax

    (Oh dear - the ads are asking if I/we ' Always have bad breath?' :shock: )

    We can't do the Mrs Mod bit but we'll try to be ever so good so you won't have anything to do :angel: :angel: :angel:

    Rest, relax, and take lots of care of yourself,:cuddle:

    (And don't forget the GOW thread if you need it :lol: )

    Apparently she had the baby in November and it was (only!) 9lbs something; her last one was 11lbs something :shock:

    As for Sian thingy, poor old Bill Turnbull could be in for a shock one morning in the very near future :shock: :lol:

    PS And have you noticed how uncomfortable she (Sian) looks on that horrible straight backed \"sofa\". :shock: ..

    they could at least have put her in a comfy chair with a footrest :lol:
