I e...What a beautiful and thoughtful post, Heather. I especially related to your line that the holidays can amplify feelings we've buried all year. Whew was that ever true for me! By Christmas evening, I was badly crashed - too many days in a row of ignoring my limits and pushing myself. I was curled in a ball on the couch when my mother finally texted to say "Ok, we're ready for a Zoom!" I explained I was very sick now and couldn't even sit up - could we do it tomorrow? She replied with her typical ignorance/denial of my condition: "It's only 9! You can sleep in tomorrow!" So, I sent my sons to go chat with their grandparents, I crawled up the stairs and curled up on the bathroom floor sobbing. It was horribly upsetting.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings so openly and beautifully.<br /><br />Here's to a happy & healthy New year!<br /><br />Sue<br /><br /><a href="http://livewithcfs.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Live with ME/CFS</a>Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237336583897611926.post-37216888956560455732020-12-23T14:16:31.345-08:002020-12-23T14:16:31.345-08:00Heather, as I read this I could and can relate to ...Heather, as I read this I could and can relate to your struggle, the only difference is is that more than likely you did have COVID. I can only imagine the feelings that you had, the depression you went through and the thoughts you had going through your head. For the last four months I myself have had so much chronic pain, pain that exceeds what I am use to, also fatigue that I have never experienced, I have been experiencing awful headaches also and at the same time every day, movement has been difficult also, and twice in the last two months I have been violently ill which included exorcist type vomiting. I was tested both times for COVID and was negative, I’ve also been experiencing constant pain in my hands, and it is hard to make a fist or bend my fingers it’s like I have a stress ball in my hands and you can’t close your hand because of it.<br /><br />Your explaining what you have been going through this year makes me want to cry for you. I always tell myself that there are people out there that have it worse than I do, I put you in that category because when you think you’re going to catch a break your illness drags you backwards, I can’t grasp that, but I can at least relate to you. I hope and pray that one day you will get your life back, that you can go to a restaurant to dine, sit in a movie theater, move amongst the people without worry, and travel to where you want to. If you ever want to talk you know how to get ahold of me on Facebook, I look forward to conversing with you, even if there is time between conversing, take care of yourself and be vigilant.Chris Heintskillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210991483011193398noreply@blogger.com
