I am fed up with being ill - I have been 'poorly' since September 24th & what is this: reasonably OK between 10 & 3 crap either end of the day, 'cos I really don't like it?

Fed up

Annoyed

Convinced I am a hypochrondriac

I want to feel well (not even sure I know what well feels like anymore)

Grump

I am sat here shivering in front of a roaring fire wrapped in a blanket & in 30 minutes need to go & collect DD from Guides

Could it be stress? My BP definately goes up when I have to collect my DCs!

Post viral syndrome?

Maybe; I had a very bad year

But I have had enough now & it's now 2009 & I want it to go away

have you been back to the docs? might be something else going on

have you checked your thyroid function? This sounds exactly how i was 6 years ago......

GP has chair in waiting room with my name on it

It's not entirely unprecedented I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME) but it has been in remission for years

I'm just grumpy & bad tempered as I feel so rough - last night I slept from 17:45 until 6:30 & tonight I have to stay awake to collect DD

Do the symptoms feel similar to the days of having ME?

yes - which is probably why I am so angry & defensive

Mild depression? That can sap all your energy

You may be having a relapse (hopefully minor)
I know it's a depressing bit of advice, but you know the drill. Pace, pace, pace yourself. No pushing. Such a frustrating illness ME.

Sorry I didn't reply - DH arrived home & said he would collect DD, so I sloped off to bed.

I guess it is a relapse - I just don't want it to be a relapse

I was really enjoying not being ill and I had conveniently forgotten that I have ME and what a big effect it has on me

4 (or so) months of low grade illness is I tink enough to admit it is back - which is a bummer as I just started an OU course
