[...] since I don’t have that much time this morning, how about I show you exactly why I’m so scared of relapsing and getting very ill again. The good news is I very much doubt that I am – it’s looking [...]

@Sam, Hi Sam! So nice to ‘meet’ you! I’m sorry you’re having a bad time of things at the moment – but HUGE congratulations on the pregnancy. I actually found I got a lot better when I was pregnant – I’m not saying you’ll find the same but you never know! In any case, I really hope this rough patch passes soon xx

Hi Josie,
I was recently introduced to your blog by a friend. I have M.E. and am suffering through a particularly bad relapse myself. I also discovered last week that I’m pregnant.
Living through the fatigue is almost not living at all. I really hope (in both our cases) that the fatigue passes soon. People don’t always realise how much of your soul the tiredness consumes.
Sending you hugs!!!!

thankfully i read your later post first so i’m hopin your fears are allayed. poor you, it sounds absolutely awful. i know – as do many of us who read you – that just havig kids and writing is enough to keep us on the edge of exhausted while we deal with the rest of our daily lives – so to add in any form of illness or mental anguish (in your case this terrible thig, in mine, multiple miscarriges one after the other) leaves you feeling drained and scared becasue we just don’t know where the reserve is going to come from. so hold on tight, and i hope this is just a blip… your sense of humour sines through…

Oh man, I should have read this one first (as opposed to the next entry). I have a much better appreciation now of what great news it is that you DON'T have a relapse. I know how much illness can screw with your life, so I hope it stays the hell out of yours. .-= Michael´s last blog ..One decade on… =-.

(De-lurking at last) Good luck at the doctor tomorrow! Hope that they listen and give you all the support you need.

As far as moral support is concerned it looks like you have it in bucketloads from the comments on this post and I’m sending another virtual hug (if that isn’t too creepy from a stranger!) – here’s hoping that all this virtual energy can help you find the strength to beat this again xx

That's horrid. Friends of mine suffer from Lupus (she) and ME (him) and go through long dreary cycles of this. Swearing is completely in context. But you will cope, you really will. Though you may swear a lot. .-= Dad Who Writes´s last blog ..Childminder Maternity Leave Disruption Blues =-.

I don’t think that you sound petulant and whiny at ALL. I think that what you are feeling is a perfectly reasonable reaction to something that is simply not fair.

I’m sending all the good thoughts I can muster to you. I hope that they wrap you up and hold you like a big, comforting slanket. Be well.
