Warfare

For the last few weeks I have been battling my illness.  Mostly it's the fatigue that is causing heightened problems.  But, with this fatigue comes the intense pain.  It's concentrated in my legs.  Both bone and muscle pain.  Although my hands and arms are beginning to give me fierce pain in those areas as well.  Plus, I have a sinus infection and a urinary tract infection.  The antibiotics are giving me horrible diarrhea.

These days I cry often.  I'm really tired of this warfare that I have going on with my own body.  This illness that has no cure.  Walking is harder these days.  Everything is harder these days.

I can relate totally.

The other night Andrea (Malfina) was asking about you. Her Dad live in North Carolina and she wanted to know where abouts you are. I didn't have your links so I'm glad I recieved this alert so I can forward to Andrea.
Hang in there,
Love

OMG you mention the same thing I am battling. My Doc keeps saying it's all Fibromyalgia but lately my legs, joints and muscles, have been screaming in pain. Walking it terrible and I think there's something besides Fibro. I've been tested for Lupus and it comes back negative but that was a couple of years ago. Now, with this pain I don't know.

I just wish I knew what was causing this.

Until then I can't do much but I can wish you the best Calgon Moment every!!!!

Hugs my friend,

Deb
