How do you explain to people your sickness when their not willing to listen?
is feeling Good
Im 15. I was recently diagnosed with Cronic Fatigue Syndrome though I've been sick for 2 years. And it sucks. I've lost friends over it... and most of the life I used to have. Im sick all the time. I used to be able to stay up all night. And just be crazy with my frieds. But now I can't because I exert myself, get tired, then sick. But don't get me wrong I still do things I like to go to the movies, bowling, shopping, or just hanging out. I regret it most of the time when I end up sick. But I have to have some kinda life right. I miss alot of school. But luckly there pretty understanding about it, and work things around me. I try and try to improve things. Im constantly trying to keep people happy while keeping myself healthy. Most people dont understand what im going through. Even a few people very close to me have a hard time with it. I guess im here to find people who will listen and not judge and be able to understand.
Shopping, movies, dancing, music, traveling, friends, family, bowling, driving, cooking, singing, tennis, softball.
How do you explain to people your sickness when their not willing to listen?
I was just recently diagnosed with CFIDS. Its tough most of the time. Not only always being sick, but having an illness that impairs me from most normal activities. Im getting better at keeping myself healthy. But its hard always having to sleep and take pills. Sometimes I wonder why this happend to me. But I know in the end it will just make me stronger. That is if there is an end. I here on this website to find help and advice on dealing with CFIDS. So any information would be great.
I've had ocd since I was four. My dad also has ocd. I have gone through many different medications and treatments. I find that the best drug for this is Effexor. Its really helped.
