exhausted
I made Thanksgiving dinner yesterday for our family. My husband worked on Thanksgiving and so we had our dinner yesterday. I started on Friday making deviled eggs and rolls. My daughter, who is 10, wanted to help. I let her make the deviled eggs. She did a pretty good job. My husband helped me make the rolls. I didn't get a lot of help yesterday. My husband was busy cleaning the house and we got into an argument because I was hungry and wanted something quick to eat. I was going to get myself a slice of pecan pie. He told me that I need to watch what I eat. I seriously was not in any mood to be told what I should eat. He is one to talk...he drinks three cups of coffee a day. those cups are actually about 3 normal cups in one and he loads them with the "flavored" sugary creamer and then sugar. So in all, He gets about 9 cups of coffee in one day loaded with sugar. He thinks since I cannot exercise that I need to watch more of what I eat. I pointed out to him that I have lost 10 lbs since I had my bladder diet and have not put that weight back on. I almost didn't eat anything after our fight. My blood sugar was so low though that I had to. Then when I went to eat I was sick to my stomach. I had to take a glucose tablet just to be able to eat. At least the pecan pie would have given me protein as well as sugar...LOL. I know it is not healthy but I don't do it every day. Today will be another busy day. I am going to make the ravioli for Christmas dinner. I will probably be in bed by 8 again. I didn't even get my kids to bed last night. My son put my daughter to bed and tucked her in. He is such a good boy. I really appreciate how he helps me out.
Other than the fatigue and typing and slurring, I have been doing fairly well. My husband thinks I am cured. I don't. I pick up on all the little things that are still around. I think if anything I may be in a "remission" of sorts. Symptoms aren't as bad as usual. I can' t convince him that I still have issues. He just sees the walking. If that is all you look at, yes, I am doing much better. In fact people I work with have asked if I am on a new medication that is helping me. No, just in remission...LOL. I am not on meds for this crazy illness. While I want it to continue, I fear that I won't be taken seriously by the docs because I am doing so much better. What a vicious cycle.

It\'s the holidays. Eat and enjoy! I know this is a crazy illness. It is hard for people to understand it if they are not experiencing it themselves. Do continue to go to the doctor to get a dx. Have a good day. :)
