The last week I’ve been hit again with severe exhaustion and stomach pain. Prior to that I had two weeks of improvement and was able to get out more. This recent crash has discouraged me, and left me unable to do hardly any activity. Last Friday I managed to drive 3 minutes to the beach then sit on the beach and watch surfers for an hour. It only involved a 3 minute walk to get to the shore. Even that was too much so I haven’t left my flat since.

Today I’m a little better so I’m going to keep resting in hope I can drive to my parents tomorrow afternoon, and go to therapy Wednesday. My physical health has been poor for over five months. I’m over this but what else can I do but hang in there? Thankfully, my mental health is still stable or I would be in deep trouble. My life has shrunk so much due to this illness. I can only hope it starts to improve soon. Medicine is way behind on treatment for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Sigh ...
