Besieged by frontal/etc. migraines and severe fatigue since Saturday, at least.  Coincidentally, that was the same day Crazy man pulled another BANG and disturbed my sleep/schedule.  Did take a bath in anticipation of going to Walgreens, but no way - maybe tomorrow.  Also got a tiny amount of tidying done.  Expect to do handwashing laundry soon.  ( Read more... )

I have sore legs from walking yesterday. So what? Well, this pain usually takes days, or even a week, to show up after exertion, because of the CFS. Between the exertion, and the time the pain shows up, I am deep in a relapse. Today is different. All because of the witch hazel?! I have learnt not to jump to concussions, however. Must study ( Read more... )

I keep getting swamped and defeated.  If you think I fail to live up to my LJ promises, just think how it is for me in real life.  Today, I felt just about able to get to the library by 1:pm, so i could be online there for two hours, and then proceed to Walgreens.  Instead, an all-body migraine took over.  Would not have been able to go to ( Read more... )

I am pulling out of relapse.  Today, I have been drawan into (hours of) sleep, instead of fighting for it.  I spent all morning waiting for a package, to be sure no one stole this one.  Most of the time, I sat in a living room wicker chair, head down, resting, head up peering out window, head down, head up - while so tired.  My dog has a mission ( Read more... )

In fact, bad week, very bad week.  If someone on LJ was seriously injured in an auto accident, that person had a worse week than me.  Otherwise, I had the worst week on LJ, and should be getting a prize.  I know this is a chronic illness, but that does not mean every bad week is any the less terrible.  If you computed everyone's life on LJ over the ( Read more... )

Another bad day, turning into a good one.  Still doing garlic therapy.  Ha a nap.  Awoke as if drunk, demented, clogged up head.  Took hours and hours to push that away.  But this is good.  I believe this is the end process of finally clearing out what I believe is yeast in the blood and, if not in the brain, then resulting toxins in the brain.  ( Read more... )

This is precisely why I am on disability.  Very bad day.  Have been on a downturn, following the recent activities and SSA stress.  So, I must rest, sleep, not do much.  That makes it seem like all I am is tired.  Nay.  Some really difficult stuff goes on here, hour after hour, year after year.  This is day two of a 2x/day garlic therapy, hoping it ( Read more... )

It is astonishing that I got through this exceedingly difficult day with my dog feeling happy and encouraged.

My CFS doctor finally tried to contact me.  He left a message on my machine about an hour ago.  Maybe he was all excited about Bernie.  Another Brooklyn Jew.  Seriously, I might be the closet thing to another Jew he can find in this town.  I once chatted w/ him about my days at the Kosher Deli ( Read more... )
