It's that time again... You know... Relapse time? I hate relapse time it's so less than ideal.
Relapse time is like the most surreal of times, like someone has come in and in one swoop taken everything you enjoy away and your like "Wow what happened there?" - you know what I mean.
It's so annoying because there were no signs, I live by signs and there was nothing!! I felt so well, which makes it even more frustrating!
I'm pretty much house bound, just in bed and the sofa. Thank goodness for Joe's Netflix account and these two Cockapoos. The severe fatigue, the aching, the weakness, the emotions, the brain fog, the loss of appetite, the frustrations.
Don't get me wrong I know i am very lucky, alot live in total relapse and i'm moaning about 2+ weeks. It's so typical CFS/Lyme, who knows when it will strike and we live not knowing how long it will last for. I can't get too frustrated because it only makes things 10x worse.
Lets just wait it out and see what happens I guess.
It's given me alot of time for reflection, not sure on my conclusions on life... I will get back to you.
I do know I have an amazing boyfriend, family, friends, church family & work - so I am very thankful.
Have a healthy week
xoxo
Dear Becky, I love your blog because I can relate so much. Can I ask you, how many relapses do you have a year? I used to have about 2-4 on average, each taking around 5 weeks to recover. This was in years (I'm guessing) 7-16. In there early years, I didn't experience many good days. However, in year 17, for the first time I had 0 relapses. This year, going on year 18 with CFS, I have had 1.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Becky! I pray for your continued recovery!

Hi Kelly, thank you for your comments. I have about one a year maybe, but only for a couple of weeks. I have learnt my boundaries. This is actually my old blog, I never update it. I trained as a Nutritional Therapist and started my own business www.hellohealing.co.uk/blog that is a more updated blog of whats happening. You sound like you are making progress, congrats thats great :) Becky xx
