How Quickly Things Change
Yesterday I had all of these plans. I made it to Bible Study and enjoyed my time there, drove my Aunt home, got myself home, made lunch and then it hit me. The fatigue that overpowers me so badly nothing will keep me awake. I took a nap and ended up oversleeping for the time to pick up Peanut from school.
I had to go to the store to get some groceries so I drug myself there. By the time we got home I had to call Hubby to tell him that I wasn’t able to do another thing. How frustrating! Although I know the feeling all too well I just rather not go through this. Peanut is by herself because I am in such a deep sleep. Thank goodness Hubby got home early from work.
He took care of dinner, the unfinished laundry, getting Peanut ready for bed, all while I slept. I woke up long enough to eat and take my meds. I even missed watching American Idol. I went from sleeping on the couch to the bed.
Hubby is always worried about me when I get like this. I tell him there’s no rhyme or reason for this sudden change in my health. It’s part of having multiple chronic illnesses. I know my doctors look out for me and test me for everything imaginable.
Many well meaning friends give me information they think may be helpful for me. I’ve received newspaper clippings on the latest treatment for Fibromyalgia, for muscle pain, I’ve been told to take magnesium, go on a gluten free diet, do a liver cleanse, do a fast, stop eating tomatoes, etc.
The problem is that no one knows all of my medical conditions and what I can and cannot take. I know they mean well so just say thank you. But it does get old after a while.
