Hi all, thanks Izzy for posting the spoon theory. it's a great way to explain the bone aching weakness and fatigue of this illness, and many other invisible illnesses.
Callyanna, Carorees, thank you both for joining us. those of us that deal with this illness, aren't used to people taking time to learn about it from people who actually experience it. Carorees, thanks for mentioning the mito research, would love for you to post the information if you could. I'm sorry that you are dealing with fibromyalgia too.
chingola, glad you found a great house, hope the closing goes well and you are safely home. glad you got to visit with your nephew too. now rest up and recoup from all your spending of your precious spoons.
nursebean, you certainly are not the only one who makes plans then can't do them. my brain still thinks I can do lots of things that my body just wont do.
Izzy is right about the grieving process you go though with this illness. I cycle through quite often. I think I'm accepting things pretty well, then my daughter has a really bad episode and I get angry all over again. it would be lovely to have a friend over for tea and a chat. unfortunately my house is usually not up to visitors.
sending everyone wishes for a wonderful day Phyllis
