Do you ever think that, well, maybe I was faking it after all? Maybe I'm not as bad as I thought I was? Do you feel guilty? Do you think you are a flaky person?
I feel all these things especially since I haven't been real supported in the medical community. Then a big dose of reality hits me, for tomorrow or the next day, I WILL wake up and not have any energy, no brain or can barely walk. I guess I need to appreciate the good days and not be so hard on myself. This is REAL. I'm NOT faking.....whatever it is I have. I've got to get over the whole "what will people think" thing. I'm working on it. |

All the time. I'm constantly doubting and second-guessing myself, even though I do have definite, widely-accepted proof of my illness. I imagine it's even harder for you, since you've had doctors doubting your diagnosis.
I don't have any great answers or solutions, but I can really relate. And I believe you. |

YES! haha sorry for laughing but it was a shock to read that. It's nice being on here when someone else writes down what you've been thinking. It's a nice thought; that 'not just me then!' Thank you.

Yes! The problem is sometimes I even fool myself into believing the good press that I'm not really sick.

Oh, hell yes! I suspect myself of somehow manufacturing pain. That it really is "all in my head" and I'm just willing it into existence or something.
Glad I'm not alone on this, too.
