My doc has said that sometimes we CFers just have a "bad year". This has been my bad year. In the last 8 months, I've been in the hospital 5 times, each stay lasting a minimum of 8 days.
But take heart! Even though it sometimes takes awhile to hit upon the perfect combination of meds, combined with an adequate amount of rest, just enough exercise, and a therapy schedule that works, the world will be in technicolor once again. With that in mind, I'm happy to report that I'm FINALLY on the upswing of my long ordeal of trying to figure out how to stop being sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Hang in there. It can be a long road sometimes, but you're not blazing a completely new trail. It's frustrating and exhausting at times, but you've got doctors and friends and other supportive people who are all willing to do what it takes to get you back on track. Just remember to be patient with yourself, and take it easy whenever you can.
