How do I Deal with Severe Illness?

I've had ME/CFS for almost 20 years. About 2 months ago, I started feeling worse. I can't link this downturn to anything I did. About 2 weeks ago, my illness again worsened.  Now I'm dealing with periods of extreme illness, which is hard to describe. It's not pain, although my neuropathy is worse. It's more like just feeling so sick, I can hardly cope. I meditate daily, which has helped in the past. Have any of you had to deal with a similar situation? If so, how do you cope? On top of everything, I'm having eye surgery in a few days, for a very serious condition. I'm totally overwhelmed. I'm so sick, I can barely talk. The horrible part about this, is that in any halfway normal situation, when you're feeling bad, you can talk to someone who cares, including a therapist. I can't get this kind of help, because I'm so profoundly fatigued and can't talk.

      Well as i explained in my other comment that is "being moderated" ugh, like its easy for us to do all this typing and thinking. I guess its bevause i typed in you tube capitalized,? Idk. Anyway it will show you on there how to do it for mecfs . Just tyoe in EFTs. They are emotional freedom techniqye. Its tapping on certain areas of your face head hands chest. It destresses me. Do you breath in or use essential oils? I love frankincense.

    Dear jackie00198. Same here. Mine suddenly changed and became alot worse. I've now had to give up work because I can't cope anymore, and yet when I'm led on the sofa all day doing nothing I'm fine.when you have your surgery tell the doctors you have M.E, anastetic effects the body with M.E somehow,don't ask me how, but I don't wake up so good and I always have a fever,soz don't mean to frighten you. I completely understand what your saying I find it difficult to hold a conversation too, but all we can do is listen to our bodies and do what that says. Horrible illness.😢
