akeyoftimeAs the smiley indicates, this is a rant.
I need to blow some steam off, the process of which I actually started earlier today when I had a meltdown. With the amount of people on wotmania, I wouldn't be surprised to find that there are people here who've been chronically ill, but for those of you who haven't been, I really don't recommend it.
I've been sick for the last three years, and when I finally just start getting back to something that could be called a life, I get sick again. I haven't been to school for a full day since March. That's a really long time. My Formal (Prom) is comming up, and I probably won't get to go to most of it because I'm too sick. I've missed things with my friends, including three birthdays, I've missed a convention I really wanted to go to, and a million other little things, and I've had it!
>:( I mean, yes, I'm alive, and that's more than some people who've been through what I have can say, but I've missed out on almost all of my teenage years because of it, and I have a friend who's been sick just like me for twice as long as I have, and I'm getting better faster, but enough is enough. I've hit the reaking point, and I'm not sure I smooth it over this time.

Re: Fellow Fibro person....
Date: 2003-06-02 04:02 pm (UTC)If only my fibromyalgia was the worst of my problems right now! I've been diagnosed with it for two years, and with everything you've suggested above (especially the excercise - I love walking so much now) it was mostly under control.
The last two months have been especially bad because I've had a mystery illness that's totally zapped me of my strength. No one knows what it is, though a fibro outbreak has been ruled out, since my mother has the same symptoms, but no FM.
On the upside, however, I *did* make it to prom, and for the duration (though the next day was... interesting :P) Thank god for my wonder drug Alertec.
As I said earlier, however, comiseration is always nice. :)
