Hi fellow Fibro & CFS survivor! How's things with you today, and I feel so sorry for you, having to look after yourself when you get bad days. I'm very lucky to have my gorgeous DH, wouldn't trade him for anything, he makes my bad times bearable. He also makes me laugh, which is very good. I wish you could be here too sweetie, I'd love to see you, and I reckon you and I would *never* stop talking, haha!!! Love, hugs and flowers to you Marji.

Sonja, thanks so much for your kind thoughts, I've missed all of you people too, hugs and flowers.
30638Jrob, thank you so very much for all this, I'm overwhelmed, truly! I hadn't expected anyone to miss me yet, I must have done a lot more chattering than I thought I had, haha! Thank you and I missed you too sweetie, you're very special to me. Thank you to all of you here, this *Cute* site really is an exceptional place, it's a very caring place, and that makes it, and all you people, one in a million. Hugs and flowers to you all, my beautiful friends.

13558Welcome back, Ruthie! I would write you an epistle telling you how much you were missed, but my computer time has to be curtailed greatly due to my current situation. Just know we love you and missed you while you were "lost in the fog" like that. =]

Thanks raels, no need to pick my DH up off the floor, when I'm like this he has to do all things domestic! Well I can't do them with chronic brain fog, can I? - HONESTLY I CAN'T, haha!!! Hugs and flowers for you my lovely.

nglover, it's true, you can't keep a good woman down - and I'm here to prove you can't keep a *bad/pesky* one down either, haha! It's good to be back. Flowers and hugs.
16513So sorry, my beautiful and loving friends, I didn't mean to go AWOL (Absent Without Official Leave). I have CFS - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as ME - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and Fibromyalgia Syndrome, and it struck without warning, well, to me it was without warning, my more observant DH sees it coming every time. I haven't had an attack like this for more than six months. Mostly I can deal with it, but one of my worst symptoms is chronic brain fog - which is totally different to my *normal* brain fog, haha! When it strikes really severe, I can't string two sentences together. And I definitely couldn't communicate on any sort of intelligent level. Oh girls, my gorgeous DH, who has such a fantastic(?) sense of humor, is reading over my shoulder to make sure I get this right - only now he's ROFL about the *stringing two sentences together* part. He said I have to 'fess up and tell you all that I'm lucky if I can even string two *words* together!!! It's good that he's here to keep me honest, haha!!! He also knows how to make me laugh, which is very good because my sense of humor disappears when I'm like this. Today I'm feeling much better, like 200% better, so I'm safe to talk to you all. You're not going to believe this part though, no matter how bad the brain fog is, I can still do my craft work!!! It's really weird, these last few days I've done a little embroidering, painting and tatting, obviously I don't need my brain to do all those, haha!!! My heartfelt thanks and love to everyone for your love and concern, it means heaps to me, and I've missed you all sooooo much, although I did take a few peeks here from time to time - just to check that you were all keeping the show running. And guess what, you've done a fantastic job without me. I think this is my limit for now, it's taken me an hour to write this, and it’s sooo good to be back! Love, hugs, kisses and flowers of course to you all, and thanks again, I’ll write you personal thank you’s later, you people really are special. XXX

Oh goodie, Ruthie is back - I am so sorry to hear of your ailments - it can't be fun to go through them - my Mother suffers from scleroderma - which at one time they had said was Fibromyalgia Syndrome - there isn't a thing that can be done for it - but she is like you - she can manage to get the things that she enjoys still done - but it takes a tole on her body and she is so wore out during her bouts. I, too was ROFLOL while reading this and my DH gets a kick out of my laughing when I am online with my "CUTE" family. We will be praying that you do not suffer again. We did miss your wit and humor and inspite of what you said, we needed you here with us, to help us, to get through all the ups and downs of our daily tasks. Thanks for your return. *4U

Glad to see you are somewhat mobile again!CFS is so debilitating isn't it. My son was diagnosed with it many years ago & I tried to find out as much as I could at the time. Thankfully, that wasn't the correct diagnosis but I did meet a few people that suffer from it. Take it slow and steady. At least you are able to take some relief with your crafts. Take care, Lyn.

Thanks for your kind thoughts Lyn, it can be debilitating at times, but I'm a *pick myself up and get on with my life* type of person, and I do what I can, when I can. And I don't make others suffer along with me. You take care too and flowers and hugs for you.

dlmds and jrob, I find it's easier to write notes here to each other, rather than read minds, haha! Hugs and flowers for you both.
