1) Ha! You can call me jingamuffin any time my dear. Jingamoffin is just some random word I made up anyway. ;) 2) Mmmmm Christian... 3) I'd wrestle in Cox flavoured jello! Fun! 4) Let's. *evil grin* 5) Huzzah!!! I love LL4E. I'll have to think of something to contribute though - I’m so lazy. :( 6) Awww shucks. Innocent? Me? Cool! I think you're the first person who's ever said that to me - thank you! 7) After about 2 years of being sick, not knowing what was wrong with me and doctors sending me for tests everywhere one finally diagnosed me as having post-viral CFS. It made sense because with CFS nothing shows up in blood tests except certain deficiencies that cross over with symptoms of other illnesses. I had almost every single symptom of CFS for over 6 months though which is one of the so-called 'requirements' for diagnosis. A lot of doctors are confused by CFS and don't know much about it seeing as it's a fairly 'new' certified disability. They have trouble handling it. My family doctor thought I was depressed for years but I wasn't - it was just a secondary symptom of being chronically ill. It happens. I'm not depressed at the moment though - yay! It’s a very hard disability to deal with emotionally as well as physically though because many people tend to trivialise it. I always get “oh yeah, I’m tired all the time too - I must have CFS”. It’s annoying to say the least, especially when these are people who go out dancing every weekend and work all week. Of course they’re tired - but at least they can do that stuff in the first place! Grrr!
Anyway, I could go on and on [hell, I've told my life story to enough doctors over the years] but it's quite long and boring and I hate complaining about it - I don't want to sound like a whinger, yuck! Thank you SO much for caring enough to ask though. That was kind of you. :)
Hey - I’d be happy to break LJ with you any day. ;)
