Quote From: nominatio1 good to have you on board. Please be patient until the regular posters are all back. I so hope that they are coming back. People were very helpful on this board before all the boards went kaput.
Sorry to hear that yo are having a hard time with CFS. Yes this type of condition can create turmoil never knowing what energy level you are going to experience on any given day.
I found that gradually, I was able to increase my exercise duration and intensity which in turn gives me more energy and I do not have the severe symptoms I used to have with fibromialgia. Also, my doc asked me if I wanted to try an Antidepressant which I finally agreed to. It is a very low dose and I am still in the beginning state so I am waiting to see how it affects me. My Doc told me that it could help with CS and Fibro.
Anyway, post often whether someone is here or not. It helps just to express your self. You wil see. Take good care. Nomi
Thanks for the greeting -- I was beginning to wonder where everyone was... ;-)
I thank goodness never had fibromialgia -- just CFS which is enough. My motherinlaw who had a car accident some years ago has CFS and has very bad fibro.
I put on my weight dutring the onset of CFS with my inactivity. I was always a very active person -- I always worked two or more jobs at a time. Then suddenly I couldn't work at all. Some days I couldn't even get out of bed. THrough the years I have progressed and learned to deal with it and relax on bad days -- the housework (or whatever) will alwys be there tomorrow -- it isn't going anywhere!
I started the UWL again today at 220 pounds and my get real weight is 1488-135 as per Dr. Phil's Body Weight Standards.
