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.
