These all apply to us, too!

Thank you, Sharon, for passing along a wonderful article. It talks about many things to which many of us can relate.
As one who also has a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome dx, I think I needed to read that today. At times I think of most of my issues as being Sjogrens related; I tend to forget that CFS plays a part in my illness, too. That is, until a day like Christmas Eve, when I intended on helping with a family dinner. Suddenly, I needed to lay down...immediately!
I slunk down (is that a word, slunk?) on my MIL's couch, in the middle of about 8 adults and 4 children running about, and took a nice nap. I had no choice, it seemed. I was exhausted. Fortunately, my loving family understands! :)
I encourage others to take a moment to read the article. There are lots of good ideas on how to deal with CFS and all of our fatigue-related conditions.
Take care, all.

So glad to see this. I had to ask my PCP if I could have both ... she said yes... she dx me with CFS in 2008. Sigh.
