just wondering if anybody else feels awful for a few hours after they wake up . i feel TERRIBLE until about 3pm and then by 4 or 5 i seem to come around a bit . its really getting to me as sometimes i just need to get out of the house ... but have to keep lying back on the bed .
going into my 7th month now the last 2 months since stopping working out have been the worst for me .

Hi Lori,
I also felt like this the mornings were the worst, I used to hate to go to bed because I always felt better at night, I eventually recovered.

Oh Lori the mornings and the start of the days I find so difficult too. Today and recently at times I've had to spend an hour or so just crying and sitting on the edge of my bed praying to God asking Him to help us and get me through what I'm going through and how I'm feeling right now.
I just want you to know you're not on your own Lori. I'm certainly thinking about you each day, and with mono remember it's normal to feel like this in the mornings because it's such a physically draining and exhausting virus. But it does get better Lori - it will get better - I have a strong belief you are going to get better Lori, this thing doesn't last forever and remember there is hope and that you will be well again. I have faith in that for you today Lori even if you're finding it hard to see or feel it yourself right now.

Thank you Diane, I really appreciate that and hope things can improve for you soon too. I've been feeling terrible this weekend, just so down and got pain and panicked about a new issue with a cyst that may be causing some of my issues. Everything just overwhelmed me a bit right now, going to see the doctor again tomorrow hoping for some reassurance. Diane I will keep thinking about you too, please hang in there and thanks for your kind words means so much to me right now more than ever.

I do hope you're doing better Mono, you've been a great source of strength to us all too and thanks so much for your kindness and comfort right now - may God bless you and your family today and always.

Oh Mono I do hope that this nightmare your family has been going through can come to an end very soon, and that the anti-virals your daughter has started can really make a difference. Still thinking about you and your family Mono, hang in there I still believe you are all going to be free of this horrible thing once and for all and I do hope the turning point is just round the corner.

I know so much Lori there are no words to describe the physical and mental hurt, pain and anguish when in the worst moments of mono - God is going to strengthen you to get through even when you feel you have nothing left Lori, thinking of you and remember just take care of yourself and take things slowly each day, not looking far ahead, being kind to yourself given the circumstances and not expecting too much from yourself or putting any pressure on yourself either. One day at a time as they say, but it's so true! As God tells us don't worry about tomorrow, for day is enough trouble for today. I wish I was better at not worrying, praying God can help us with that and for us not to lean on our own understanding but trust in Him with our future.

Thanks so much for your kind words and asking for me Arielle - that means so much. The consultant suggested I see another consultant to look at cyst I have in psoas muscle, so just need to take things day by day and hoping and praying that this situation can be resolved smoothly and safely and quickly without any harm or pain or worry. Need God's help with that.
How are you doing Arielle? I do hope things are more settled for you and just remember to hang in there and that you are going to get through what you've been going through thanks to God - I believe that in my heart Arielle, thinking of you.

Oh Diane I do empathise it is so hard when you see other people around you seemingly fit and well and that's all you want to be yourself. I know everyone on the site here just wants to be well, I think the vast majority of us don't want to be greedy for wealth or riches or anything like that, just to be healthy and be able to live a good and honest and genuine life again where we can be grateful for our health and how God has and is helping us.
Thinking of you Diane still and hoping for a good and settled weekend and week ahead. I'm still up and down at the moment another consultant next week and a bit worried how it all goes, just hoping God can protect each of us from any harm and bring peace and grace and healing and forgiveness into our lives. Hang in there Diane - still believing that a new phase of recovery for you is much closer than you may feel right now.
