Hey hi I'm a real person who has this real thing. Once upon a time I was a very driven, high energy hard worker who loved my job and had a fun social life. Then I got the flu and never recovered and no one could help me. I miss working. Instead of doing all the things I love,
-
I have to conserve my energy or I can barely get out of bed the next day. I don't know if you've ever had a really bad flu where it feels like someone has put lead weights all over your body, but it feels like that x2 now all the time. I try to focus on quality of life, but if I

Weren't married to someone I love so much, I would have killed myself many years ago. I feel like I already died, but for some reason the shell of my body still exists, with me trapped inside of it. I can't go shopping or drinking or running or to the movies or any of the things

That people who might be lazy would shirk work to do. I'd rather be working. I loved my job. I felt like I had a purpose. Not being able to work in this society makes me feel worthless. I would do anything to be able to work again. But so far there isn't anything that can allow

I was diagnosed in 1992. No one believed me. Started from Epstein Barr, now I have fibromyalgia. Total horror show.
-
1992, that is a LONG time to suffer. I have had it for about 6 years. Mine was triggered, they think, when I had my hysterectomy while simultaneously having Epstein Barr. Horror show indeed!

In 1991, I had the flu, chicken pox and a cervical infection. My immune system was hit constantly. By 92, that showed up. Then, it was my PCOS, my thyroid, and all the stress from my family, a car accident, and that triggered fibromyalgia. Pure hell.

After 2 years of testing, in 1994 I was diagnosed with CFS. This article was somewhat true but marginalized the true extent of debilitation.

Well they're at least 20 years too late. Why? Because Dr's too routinely treat women patients as the last person to listen to about their own health.
