....and today's bitch is?

This is not going to be a fun post so anyone who doesn't want to read my whining look away......now!

*holds hands up* I admit this cold/virus has whipped my butt. It's pathetic I know but the last few days my fatigue level has just bottomed out.
Just sitting up is taxing my strength at the moment. I've managed to spend most of the day upright but aches are becoming more pronounced and turning into hurts, speech is slowing down, cognitive functions are stuttering, my emotions are all over the place and just  staying awake is a constant effort.

To top it all, today the local council rejected my application for a disabled parking permit because apparently they consider my disability is temporary.
Seeing as no one, Doctor, therapists, physio-therapists  etc can't tell me when I'm going to be well I'd love to know how they seem to be able to tell when I'll be recovered. Apparently they can predict the future.

What really annoys me is I've not applied for any other benefits because I'm still getting half sick pay from my employer and considered this was more than some other people were getting who need the benefits more than me.
This permit would have enabled me to get out of the house, to not have to worry about restricting myself so much because I when I factor in how far I have to walk to and from the car I don't have the energy to do anything else.
It's made me really angry and resentful and I don't like those negative emotions bouncing around my body when there is very little I can do about it. Anyway, I'm going to appeal the decision but I'm not holding out much hope.

cfids, m.e., medical dramas
