Fatigue is considered a symptom, as opposed to a medical sign.

I've gotten pretty good at being sick. But that doesn't mean it doesn't utterly suck at times.

The sun is shining through our windows, the kitten lady is fast asleep besides me on the couch, my iPhone plays me a pretty song and I'm enjoying a cup of coffee. As long as I don't get up I'll be fine.

But I can't just sit here all day now can I? And when I get up I'm reminded of how it is to be me with my ME/CFS diagnosis when I'm having a bad day. I can't really stand straight, I'm so dizzy I feel like I'm constantly falling, I have to hold onto something, it's a good thing I bought myself a pair of crutches for days like this. My hands are shaking, and I'm freezing even though it's warm, my eyes won't focus properly.

It's funny how it goes, on a day that could just suck, people are there and make it better. My sister called me, my mom stopped by, I talked to my brother on the phone too and even my darling Malene ringed me up ♥

All in all, even though I'm sick, I'm a pretty lucky girl.

    1. It will :)

      Thank you, she sure is ♥
      She was so mad at me when I took the pictures! I had to go back and forth some to get the focus right. She was fast asleep at first, but after a while she got really annoyed and decided to sleep on her kitchen chair instead x)

      Makeup works wonders for a tired face!

      Good company I do have, when she's not mad at me for some obscure reason. Cats will be cats I guess, haha.

  7. Håper du føler deg litt bedre nå!

    Og det er interessant å lære litt om ME her inne også for utenforstående som meg som ikke vet stort. Du skriver forklarende og jeg beundrer deg virkelig fortsatt for at du klarer å holde en positiv twist, det er ikke alle forunt :)

    Klem,
    Signe

    1. Hvilt meg noen dager nå så da går det bedre :) Vinteren er alltid harde..
      Det er en vanskelig sykdom å si noe om eller forstå, selv for meg som har det! Så det er ikke lett, men det er jo ikke livet heller.

      Takk ♥
