Here are some of my other poems about ME

Picking up ....

I feel a bit better, I had a really bad night though I tried to go to sleep but my stomach was swollen just under my ribs and it felt blocked again and there was some pain though very slight it stopped me getting to sleep so I went down I wrote a bit to get some thoughts out of my head then hubby came down shattered to see if I was ok and to help me get back to bed.  I was supposed to have my hair cut tomorrow I have a friend who comes to the house but I can't even do that as she wanted to come at 10am and I am not getting up early at the moment and I need a bath in the morning so I had to cancel but my hair is a real mess and needs cutting and I know I would feel better for it but I don't want to risk passing on whatever I had to her, though I can't see it been contagious now if it's gastric flu then it says on the net it is contagious for 5-7 days and I am not well yet.  It's a lovely sunny today I will have to get dressed and do something even if it's just sitting around or in the garden relaxing. My house has suffered it only takes a day or two for me to be unable to do stuff then it's a mess and then as soon I get better I end up doing it in one hog to catch up.  Though hubby helps a lot he does vaccing and mopping you know how men are they never do it the same:)  At least he could go to shops yesterday or I would not have managed.  It's times like this I realise how much it's a blessing I have no kids.  Imagine been this ill and not been able to rest, the thought is unbearable so I will count my blessings.

How shocking can you feel?!!

My friend came with her little boy he looked white as a sheet and he ended up filling his nappy and stinking out my living room!  Anyway that was Wednesday then on Sunday night I was on and off the loo all night with the runs.  It was so wearing as not getting much sleep on top of ME is dreadful as those with ME know well.
I also have like a blockage in my gullet, get this time to time usually when I eat what I shouldn't like wheat I did have bit of a wheat binge at weekend as I indulged in a pizza which I thoroughly enjoyed at the time anyway I feel so fed up and uncomfy.  I was supposed to have workmen coming today to fit us an outside tap and a thermostat but had to cancel.  I also have my craft group on Friday which I hope I can make but if I don't feel a lot better by then I can't.  I hate this 'life' and I just hope things pick up soon or not sure what I will do.  Cope I suppose like I have done for the last 15 years what more can you do ......

ME/CFS - A Subtle Threat

Shop till you drop

How tiring is shopping?! My brother gets married in June so I needed a new dress.
I went with mum she is 72 and is like superwoman well maybe not as much as she used to be but still is fitter than I am.  I thought I would go later than I would not have much time but that was a bad idea as it was too pressured and I did not get chance to stop for a break which I should have done.
I tried around 10 dresses on which is tiring in itself but the fact that none of them fit me right, one bright pink dress in Monsoon was sooooo beautiful but was tight round my ribs I figured after the wedding meal I would be bursting at the seams so decided against it plus the price tag was a bit high.  So will have to go back next week now as I dont' want to leave it till the last minute as I usually do plus we are planning the food so that will need sorted the week before.  Not long now it is exciting they get married in the US but the wedding reception is near us we have around 100 people coming it will be a great night
