I am miserable today! and do not think I will ever get over this flu and feel as normal as one can feel with MS. I am tearful all the time I went yesterday to buy some clothes for my mom and I mistakenly bought the wrong size in one thing for her, I just started sobbing because I was to tired to return and exchange the shirt. I had been very excited about buying her some things and sending her some money I had energy at first and I enjoyed the shopping experience then I could barley make it into my apartment! I tried then later cleaning out a closet and making dinner while cutting up and dividing up fruit and became in so much pain in my stomach! The first bout of this stuff did not do this to me but this one OMG! I just feel worthless and wonder if I will ever feel human again? I never have had the flu before nor the shot and I always just kept on going when sick, something I tried at first when I was still working and it tended to zap me at first but had finally begun to bounce back then this hit me again. For some reason I feel so much more discoraged than before and just in general, I think I need to just crawl into bed for a long time and I am not sure if I will ever want to come back out again. In general I am hurting and feeling down more so in general and have almost given up on all of my dreams!
oh hon...you have to give yourself time to get over the flu...first off..this is a nasty bout going around this year..i know even in canada this year..the flu going around is lasting 3-4 weeks and it was not even covered in the flu shot..sigh...
second reading what you did in one day the shopping..the cleaning of a closet..then on to cooking dinner??? holy crap girl...no wonder you are so tired....
did anyone tell you yet that you have MS by the way?????
geezz give yourself a break.... curl up on the couch for a few days... get a good book or some old movies..some tea...broth..etc..and rest...thats it..no more shopping trips...cripes...and if the kid wants to eat..tell her to cook it..and well she is at it..tell her she can cook for you as well..sigh..
i have been trapped upstairs for three days off my feet due to cortosine under my knee cap..grin..and the kids have been running the house doing laundry and cooking...it can be done hon..
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF... you cant look after anyone else if your sick hon... please take care of yourself
