RE: The Bounce Back Dilemma

Boy can I relate to this! It took 10 years and countless doctors and testing before I had a dx. At one point I was told ME/CFS too. Just Lyme disease, neurological variety.

I had covid pneumonia in January and I am lucky if I can do stuff for 4 hrs a day. Just so tired, and don't EVEN mention brainfog. That was my first and most severe symptom starting when I was 20, 46 years ago.

Yup, can so relate to the slow down thing and having a hard time adjusting to it....

Sort:  

It feels great having people who CAN relate. It's such a bummer that we do, though, yanno?
However, the aches and the pains we don't talk about in the end might be our greatest achievement. That, and surviving while occasionally thriving too. One of my peeves are family members that tell me I have a "low pain threshold". Please. While I wouldn't wish what I go through on anyone? They wouldn't last a day. So I smile and just nod my head, "Yep. That's me. Just a softy."

Said no-one, in my brain. Ever. 😜

I don't have so much pain, but my husband did. One just never saw him on the bad days. They had no idea....
