I'm sleeping 10-12 hrs a day. And still just taking a shower requires resting afterwards.

my doctor & hubby say I need to exercise more. But just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap. I can barely get dressed and make dinner everyday... how am I suppose to be able to work - even part time..

I hate this illness!

Oh crap, there go the tears again & I really need to figure out what to make for dinner.

I'm watching these guys climbing up a mountain with their fingers and toes! crazy. and they're suceeding. I managed to walk a little further today. Went with my little dog, just up the block and back. My back was hurting something awful, and my hips, so happy to be home and under my electric blanket.

We each do what we can. Walking is so hard for me, but I must keep the ability for my older years. I don't want to rely on wheel chairs! and I do take Pilates once a week, a big help to keep strength so I can get out of low chairs. My goal in life.

You're in the right place and I'm glad to know you, Abby
