    • About Me

      I am self employed, and would like to keep it that way. I love life and my family, I just wish I could find the key to my CF.

    • Hug

      From lobeliapeppergrass March 30

      Stopping by to say hello. I don't know why, but I hardly ever contact or hug my male DS friends. Social awkwardness, not wanting to feel like I am betraying my spouse, IDK. It's stupid, I know. But, still, thinking of you, hope you're feeling okay!

      LFP sounds awesome! You're lucky to live in Atlanta. From what I know it's a very fun place. Have a great time!

    • Thumbs Up

      From lovepuddle March 14

      I appreciated your response to Alexander re: coolness. Like you I have had depression for a long time. Was diagnosed with chronic major depression in my late teens, but probably had it before that. Runs in my family too. Sometimes I feel like the combination of CFS and depression is going to beat me. I keep living partly because of God and partly because of my husband and kids. Mostly because of my kids probably. Anyway, I thought your answer was very helpful.

    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I have had the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue for many years. While I have tried many treatments and none have worked, I get frustrated with the medical community because they simplify the problem by assuming I am lazy or I do not do enough. I exercise almost daily and it does not help, it just makes my fatigue worse.
